Four-Links - vintage snow vehicles, homebuilt Silver Arrow, Airbox Corvette, Junior Styles Tomorrow?

Yup, we got snow up here in New England. Enough to get me thinking about a vintage snowmobile again. It apparently has a bunch of H.A.M.B.ers thinking about vintage snowmobiles as well, but along some different lines.

* Apparently, Brit Max Hyde wanted a Mercedes W25 Silver Arrow, but thought he could build his own replica version using a Citroen 2CV chassis and drivetrain. Yes, it looks just as much the train wreck as it sounds. (via)

* Looking at the cobbed-up fiberglass airbox that Chevrolet used for only a handful of 1957 fuel-injected Corvettes, I’m not too ashamed of my own cobjobs. As long as they work, that is. And don’t feel bad about not knowing what an Airbox Corvette is - it seems many Corvette experts and enthusiasts also have never heard of them. (via)

* What’s with the hats that all the Fisher Body Craftsman’s Guild winners - including a young Virgil Exner Jr. - apparently had to wear for the March 1947 Mechanix Illustrated story?
