Visual History of Snow Travel Old Snowmobiles

The Northerns got a chance to visit the Shelburne Museum to see their exhibit on the history of snowmobiles. It's a pretty good display (not as good as the motorcycle exhibit they had previously), and there were things that NorthernMommy, Daddy, Toddler and Grandparents had never seen before.
--
This one is a snowmobile converted into a motorboat (to get year-round use from the snowmachine). Please excuse the blurry photos - they are the ones that were taken after NorthernDaddy got busted for using his flash. (There wasn't a sign prohibiting flash photos, Mr. MuseumSecurityDude...)
 
Just plain cool. 
What?! No suspension, no heated grips? Barbarians!
Snow-Moto? Snoped? Not real sure that this is a good idea.
High fashion accessorizing from the Seventies.
Strange-but-cool contraption.
