Canada

USED IN CANADA. In 1956 Harry C. Paul, a Canadian businessman from Saskatchewan, attended the trapper’s festival at The Pas, Manitoba with a snowmobile that he invented. At the festival he met David Johnson and Edgar Hetteen of Polaris Industries in Roseau, MN. As a result of this meeting, it was agreed that Polaris Industries would build snowmobiles and Harry Paul would sell them in Canada under the "Autoboggan". Most of the Autoboggan machines were identical to the Polaris models in design, but they were painted Harvest Gold rather than the pale blue of the early Polaris models. Production of the Autoboggan began in the 56-57 season and continued until 1966, when production was discontinued. It is estimated that somewhere over 1000 machines were manufactured over the 10 year production span.

Fonction

Technique

INTERESTING SINGLE PASSENGER SNOWMOBILE DISTRIBUTED IN CANADA BY H.C. PAUL LTD., WINNIPEG, MAN. The 'L-55' in the model name and serial number refers to the Lauson 5.5 hp engine installed in this snowmobile. "Powered by a rear track and steered like a motorcycle, the snowmobile has an amazing ability to almost float on top of the snow. It's even weight distribution keeps it from sinking in." (ref.4)
