A Nash-Healey convention?
 
The 1912 Sikorski Snow Sled - yes, *that* Sikorsky!

With that spinning propeller on the back, be very careful when backing up.
 
I love that cruiser - such a product of its time and philosophy.



 
JP, good video on the Snow Cruiser, thanks for sharing it.

I find it laughable that the guy making the video claims that the Foxbat was a match for the Blackbird.
 
The LeTourneau Land Train..."The TC-497 was tested by the Army at the Yuma Proving Grounds in Arizona. The results were impressive—but so were simultaneous advances in heavy-lift helicopters like the Sikorsky CH-54 Tarhe, a fleet of which could accomplish what the TC-497 promised with a fraction of the time and effort. The time of solving a problem like remote logistics with a massive, almost cartoonish machine like an overland train was over."
"In the end, the TC-497 was abandoned. It sat intact in Arizona for almost a decade before its trailers were scrapped; today only the cab survives, still baking in the desert sun and collecting dust. An unfitting end to one of the largest land vehicles ever made."
