Wandering around the grounds of the Waconia Ride-In event in Waconia, Minnesota — the “the world’s largest antique, vintage and classic snowmobile event” according to the event’s promotion — one can’t help but to be struck by the feeling of nostalgia.
The history of the sport of snowmobiling is so rich, especially from the mid 1960s until the end of the 1970s, that even the most avid collector will still see something at each of these shows that they have never seen before.
Yesterday we posted our first 10 photos from the 2018 Waconia event, which was held January 26-28. Here are more sleds that caught our eye during our Sunday visit.
The photo of the 1968 Mercury 150E captioned claimed that it was a restored sled. That is my sled that I brought to Waconia that year. It really is not a restored sled. It is an original sled. Any parts that may have been replaced because of normal wear, are original Mercury replacement parts.
