The caption was Idaho Ski Bums not the vehicle, but, I agree the Edmund and Jones' would/should be the main focus today.

 

It looks like it is a 1933 Auburn cabriolet or convertible.....

"Sitting behind the Portland Company foundry, this Caterpillar "60" has a 10-ton Sargent snowplow with side wing plows on each side. Here we can see how extensive the pulley system is to raise the plows."--Fletcher, David H. 'The Portland Company 1846-1982.' Charleston, S.C. : Arcadia Pub., 2002. 113.

"The FWD truck, with the engine under the seat, gave the operator better front visibility when plowing heavy snows. The Four Wheel Drive Auto Company (FWD) of Clintonville, Wisconsin, built these early trucks that had Sargent plows mounted on them." --Fletcher, David H. ' The Portland Company 1846-1982.' Charleston, S.C.: Arcadia Pub., 2002. 110.

 

Here's a pretty interesting drag racing video. It starts off with some nice shots from the 60s, but what's really cool is when the video slows down to 1000 frames per second of a dragster right after launch, you can really see the wheels spinning a lot faster than the car is moving and you can see each cylinder firing and helping clean off the tire as it does so.

Look! Girls with REAL boobs!!!

 

Something to think about: the first guy to plow would need to know the road like the back of his hand in order to plow on an old country road. If you look closely you can see what may be snow markers but they may be just a few fence posts. It still would be easy to miss the road in places.

 

If people would see this much snow they would not know what to do,they would blame it on global warming but this is how it used to snow in some areas of this country.

the driver was probably looking at a girl... 'cause 'talking on his cellphone' wasn't invented yet.
