Carl Eliason’s hand-built 1924 motor toboggan is on display in Sayner’s Snowmobile Museum, and Eliason’s design was the prototype for the modern snowmobile. While Eliason’s model became the most successful, it was not the first, and Northwoods residents experimented with all sorts of snow machines before settling on Eliason’s toboggan.
One of the earliest attempts at over-snow travel accompanied the bicycle craze of the 1890s. In Wisconsin people experimented with bicycles equipped with runners and gripping fins. Unsurprisingly, this did not last long. A few steam propelled sleighs appeared, and as early as 1895 a couple of inventors in Brule, Wisconsin, submitted a design for a propeller-sled. However, the most successful design that predated Eliason came out of New Hampshire in 1917.

Mr. White lived in West Ossipee, N.H, an area known for getting snowed in during winter months. The man knew the Model T like the back of his hand and decided to turn one into a snowmobile. He patented the conversion kit in 1913, but the kit only went on sale in the winter of 1922, and a struggling driveway snow scraper could buy one of these bad boys for only $750. That s the car and the conversion all rolled into one. The conversion ended up being offered by several dealers, and White only produced around 73 of these cars during his time. By 1925 he sold the manufacturing rights to a Wisconsin-based farming manufacturing company, after which around 3,300 of these snow heroes were constructed per year.

Have snow, will travel. That wasn’t always the case when it came to automobiles, but it was the basic idea behind the “original snowmobile,” a clever Ford Model T conversion kit that was created by Virgil White more than 100 years ago.
White was an inventor and authorized Ford dealer who serviced and sold Model Ts in West Ossipee, New Hampshire. In 1913, he patented a Snowmobile conversion kit for Model Ts, but he didn’t put it on the market until 1922, after he had “perfected it in every detail.” Henry Ford was impressed and allowed White to sell the kit exclusively through Ford dealers for $400 (a Model T cost about $300). White also offered a complete, already-converted Model T Snowmobile for $750.
