[2003Summit]

This is pretty cool. Considering the year, I think it was way ahead of its time. (The movie is a bit slow to start, give it a bit.)

This is a 16mm demo film of the Armstead Snow Motors Company concept snow vehicle. It was filmed in 1924. The concept is applied to a Fordson tractor and a Chevrolet automobile. The original film is part of the collections of the Archives of Michigan.
