Dating to 1979, these TV commercials promote the Arctic Cat Snowmobile, which was first manufactured in 1960. In 1981, just two years after this ad debuted, manufacturer Arctic Enterprises went out of business. A successor company Arctco Inc. began manufacture of similar units in 1985. The commercial at 28:12 features actor John Cameron Swayze.

Riding that Pantera was my older brother. He won the drawing to participate in the 1979 model year Promotional Taping. Mine was 1978 with the El Tigre 6000.

Watched this commercial for Arctic Cat snowmobile the reason I liked this commercial is they showed the beautiful snowy country side

I had some of these machines and it’s a good thing I was young because they beat you to death compared to the machines now.

[@glenmallory9982]

Aw they aren’t that bad just need to keep the rear skid lubed

[@alaskarailroad3996]

The breaking of the handle bars on the polaris... seriously?! They should have showed buckets of pistons and crankshafts for the cat..

[@glenmallory9982]

The Jag 340 was super reliable. Unlike most Cats made after 2008.

[@truthmirage]

Looks like the El Tigre. Best 70’s sled.
