In 1924, Carl Eliason started making "Motor Toboggan," the precursor of modern snowmobiles. Carl hand built his creations using parts from Ford Model T cars and sold his first model for $350.

    While the "motor togoggan" is undoubtedly a precursor of modern snowmobiles, the real direct ancestor is Bombardier's Ski-Doo (http://www.museebombardier.com/en/content/jab/biographie1959_1964.htm  )
