SOLD! - In today's episode I got a message from an old commercial fisherman who is looking to sell his Bombardier. Dad originally thought it might be a 70 or 71 but he isn't sure. If you are interested you can contact the owner:
The Bombardier is located in The Pas, Manitoba and is being sold by the owner directly. So please do not contact us as we have no further information on the machine other than this video.
Bombardier is a Canadian company known for its innovation and excellence in the transportation industry. The company has been producing snow vehicles for more than 60 years, including snow buses that are used for passenger transport in extreme weather conditions.
Armand Bombardier from Valcourt, Quebec nailed a design that became a template for mechanized snow travel. His first product was a wood enclosed vehicle with tracks in the back and skis in the front that carried seven people. He began selling his B-7 in 1937. Through the war he was involved in making equipment for the war effort but in 1942 he produced a production model of the B-12. The B-12 was made of metal but followed the same design as the B-7 and he also built larger 18 passenger B-18 versions. Though they could be painted any colour the standard production model was a shade of yellow not unlike the colour of school buses and for the same reason, visibility.
The snow buses were designed to transport people in remote areas, such as logging camps and mining sites and all over the north by Natural Resources, as ambulances, school buses, mail delivery and bus/taxi operators. These early snow buses were rugged, durable, and able to travel over difficult terrain, including deep snow and ice.
Over time, Bombardier continued to innovate and improve upon its snow bus designs. In the 1960s, the company introduced the B12 snow bus, which was the first snow bus specifically designed for passenger transport. The B12 had a capacity of 12 passengers and was equipped with a powerful diesel engine, a heating system, and a comfortable interior. The operation of a Bombardier snow bus is similar to that of a conventional bus. The driver sits in a cab at the front of the vehicle and uses a steering wheel, accelerator, and brake pedals to control the bus. The snow bus is equipped with a powerful engine and a track system that allows it to travel over deep snow and ice.
The track system consists of rubber tracks that are attached to the wheels of the bus. The tracks provide traction and stability in snowy and icy conditions, allowing the bus to navigate difficult terrain safely.
The interior of a Bombardier snow bus is designed to provide maximum comfort for passengers. The bus is equipped with heating and ventilation systems that ensure a comfortable temperature inside the vehicle, even in extreme weather conditions. The seats are designed to be comfortable and provide ample legroom, and the bus is equipped with large windows that offer panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.
Repairing a Bombardier snow bus can be a complex and challenging process. The snow bus is a highly specialized vehicle that requires specialized knowledge and tools to repair. The track system, in particular, is a critical component of the snow bus that requires careful maintenance and repair. Bombardier snow buses have a long and successful history of providing safe and reliable transportation in extreme weather conditions. Their operation is similar to that of conventional buses, but their specialized track system allows them to navigate difficult terrain safely. Repairing a snow bus can be complex and challenging, requiring specialized knowledge and tools. #bombardier #restoration #carrestoration
Sweet ride 😁 looks like it has good bones.
Cheers from 2 Canadians 🇨🇦 living in Mexico. 🇲🇽✌🏼🥰
My school bus in grade 2, outside Hearst Ontario. Circa 1952-3😊
I’m,in Upstate New York would love to have one. Would look great in my ski doo collection
we just finished building one for Minnesota!
I might be wrong but I think there are still a few of these being used in West Yellowstone National Park. They're rare buy it !
sold the next morning!
One like that on roger ville rd in New Brunswick CA its red in color it been sitting there for yrs
Buy that bad assed goodie ... Its a no brainer deal, as they are rare ... It will always have appeal, and resale value ... Perhaps even have some front wheels engineered for summer fun... Of course, keep the skis handy, for winter snow excursions 😁
It sold by the next morning and gone to St. Laurent
If not repowered from original build; that 318 and service door latches would put it into at least the early/mid 60s I believe.
Not a 318. It is a big block Chrysler, dist. is in the front.
Neighbor has one with round windows, i think this is late 60's
different windows in all versions
I think that machine is a 1955 based on the serial number and the rad door size. Nice machine trailer package
