Definitively not a snow cat, but interesting non the less. A good example of over engineering a snow vehicle that proved to be a failure in practice and use.

A bit on the long side to watch, but the sheer size of this machine is impressive, especially considering the time when it was made. The fact they drove it from Chicago to the coast to load on a boat was a feat for the times. But who ever thought it would perform well with rounded smooth treadles faces was not a person whom I would ever trust. If it had tracks and turbo chargers on the diesels it might have been a much happier ending...
