coolest car club ever

So much for the kickoff--they called the show because it was too cold, and everyone was gone by noon. But I did get there in time to catch a glimpse of this neat old '29 "Snowbird" sedan on the back of a flatbed.

So I had to look it up. And it led me to what may be the coolest car club ever... (literally).

 

The Model T Ford Snowmobile Club.

It's awesome that these ol' things are still around. And it's even better that there's a bunch of people who are actually bringin them out and enjoying them--cruisin the snow in 80-year-old Fords with tracks and skis. YEAH!

 

And if you really wanna nerd out, here's a silent promotional film from 1924 with some pretty cool old footage of some crazy concept snow-car that runs on giant rotating cylinders.

Made me smile, anyway.
