On display at the Joseph Armand Bombardier Museum in Valcourt, Québec, Canada is the first ever mass produced recreational snowmobile in the world. This video focuses on this 1960 model (In Yellow)
Officially this is the first mass production snowmobile intended for recreational purposes.
It is the first mass produced vehicle with a rubber endless track reinforced with embedded steel rods. It is the first snowmobile with engine installed up front, with fuel tank in tunnel up front and a dynamo trained by the driven pulley supplying the headlight..
Joseph Armand Bombardier is generally credited for having invented the snowmobile outright, though some other small snow going vehicles where fabricated prior to 1960 but never mass produced
