Snowmobiles can fly. Anything that goes farther than the Wright brothers at Kittyhawk is really flying

On December 17, 1903, Orville Wright piloted the first powered airplane 20 feet above a wind-swept beach in North Carolina. The flight lasted 12 seconds and covered 120 feet.

Three more flights were made that day with Orville's brother Wilbur piloting the record flight lasting 59 seconds over a distance of 852 feet

Streetcars, were good for more than just public transportation... did you know they were used to plow snow along their route?

read about plowing snow with street cars: http://cincystreetcar.wordpress.com/2009/01/

I like that many were made into little diners. See the inside of one at the Henry Ford museum https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv3Jvne8ot8dmF6CHzY_e6_yjCHtL525yEmVPVPy03G-8PmqIhjJuFr1JZpgfDky9C7iOLg8_4L5loHxO5ImhDP6yS2JDVCW6EVw6o75kHYPCyld6K9a3RdkPgH9FGgNje7UxtuIO88ew/s1600/Henry%2520Ford%2520Diner%5B1%5D.jpg it is the nicest I've seen, most are far more simple and less ornamental

Some were made into houses: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/09/street-cars-getting-second-life-as-home.html

And in San Diego I found one diner street car, and two homes made from street cars http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/06/survivors-of-era-i-doubt-anyone-else.html

Messerschmitt snow machine... cool!

Snow machine, home made fun type!

the motor must be in the wheel hub area... but I don't see how it is steered, unless it's differential engine speeds, it looks chainsaw motors and twist throttles. I don't recall where I was tipped off to this from, for a couple other very interesting home made snow machines: http://parkoffka.ru/item/2010/4/15/samodel_nyi_snegohod_12_fotografii

Columbia Icefield Snowmobile tours old tour bus... it's been replaced by modern busses riding on monster truck tires

I believe this is located on the boundary of Banff and Jasper http://www.explorerockies.com/

Cool old russian vehicles!

1913 Rus­sobalt Type-Kegresse

1939–1946. Total 33 840 units were pro­duced. This truck is pow­ered by gas gen­er­a­tor that used fire­wood (or coal) to pro­duce gas that pow­ers the engine. Because of this it has low power and speed, it is dif­fi­cult to ser­vice and not so easy to start up. But because the lack of gaso­line in some north regions this truck was indispensable.

Yag -12 all four front tires steer, 1932 to 1941

Pro­duced 1949–1953. This inter­est­ing car is kind of GAZ-M20 Bobeda based six seat mini­van

This is a 1956 4 wheel drive airplane towtruck, and can be switched to just front wheel drive. (only 13 made)
