Looking at some vintage magazines recently and it got me thinking, I bet we could complete the alphabet with all the makes and models over the years. So, here goes. Only one per post please.

Arctic Cat.

Now we need a "B" from somebody.

I think Skiroule would be upset if we didn't mention Chaparral here. And I had to look up Chrysler snow machines, sure enough, and thus the purpose of our little exercise here.

For "D" I'll offer the Bolens Diablo.

Too obvious for P.
I'd of went with Polar Bear 1972-1977
Or Poloron
Poloron was pretty much a military defense contractor, with earnings of around 20 million dollars in 1969. They expanded into Mobile Homes, and Motor Homes as their military sales were declining. They had acquired a division in 1967 that built snow plows, snowblowers and lawn tractors. It was that division that phased into building snowmobiles from 1969 through 1972.

Q ???? Not even Google could find a snowmobile brand name beginning with Q. Maybe something in Europe but for the U.S. and Canada, don't think so. I was thinking X was going to give us problems, didn't think of Q.

How about a Mulligan? Anyone got an R?
