Ossipee Hoodies

Ossipee Lake design

Ossipee Lake New Hampshire. Calm sunset vibe on a lake.

Virgil D. White fabricated his first Model T winter car conversion in 1913 at his car dealership in Ossipee, New Hampshire. Four years later, he had refined the design to a point that he had it patented, but ever the perfectionist, he continued to perfect his invention, eventually coining the name 'snowmobile' and taking it to market in 1922. Initially offered as a kit, the snowmobile package included a heavy-duty truck rear axle, a 7-to-1 truck worm gear drive line attached to the frame by a pair of cantilevered semi-elliptical springs, heavy-duty wheels, a set of metal tracks, and up front, a set of skis. With skis removed, and front wheels installed; the Snowmobile became a Sandmobile, useful for transport through deep mud and sand.
