- This screw-propelled vehicle was designed to cope with difficult snow and ice terrain. Instead of tracks, the vehicle is moved by the rotation of two horisontal cylinders fitted with a helical flange that engages with the snow surface.
The Armstead Snow Motor was developed in the early 1920's. Leading Detroit automobile makers had organized a company entitled "Snow Motors Inc" to put out a machine that would negotiate the deepest snowdrifts at six to eight miles an hour. The vehicle consisted of a tractor power-plant mounted on two revolving cylinders instead of wheels.

I love how the guy is doing this while wearing a top hat/ bowler hat and a cane XD
Oooohhh I must build one myself!!
Ah, yeah! Imagine driving to work in this beast. I'd never get stuck in the snow.
This is such a Cool Vehicle.
This is great. I've seen pics, but never seen a video.
Looks like it would be good if you lived in Alaska. Great post. Awesome to see.
THATS AMAZING!
Interesting contraption. The chain drives looks like the weak link (no pun intended). They seem exposed and delicate. Some sort of shaft drive would seem far better.
I sure could use one of those on my farm
that is dam cool

Kind of mean to that horse I thought!
Kind of ? It’s outright animal abuse 😔
