We haven’t come across too many antique and vintage snowmobile collectors that are quite as avid about their passion as Diane Lawson of Minnesota. Recently Diane wrote us here at SnoRiders West asking about a 1964 Polaris Autoboggan we featured in a column we call Antique Sled corner.

We were happy to dig up and send the information Diane needed about the Autoboggan’s owner Ken Archer of Pemberton, BC. Here’s an excerpt of what Diane wrote us. . .

"Thanks so much for the info and the numbers. I bought an Autoboggan on e-bay from Pinewood Sports in Fort Francis, Ontario for $890. It is in very restorable shape, all emblems were painted in black but stripped now to the original chrome. It runs fine and I plan on riding it this year as is but plan on restoring it next year. It is the same as Polaris Comet of that year but has Autoboggan emblems on it instead of Comet."

Diane continues, "I have restored a ’63 Sno-Traveler (L55) and have enclosed a picture of it. I have it enclosed in plexiglass and it is in the family room when not out for shows. I paid $1,000 for that (rusty but all parts were there). I have about another $1,000 in it in restoration and many mega hours. I am very proud of it."

And so you should be Diane, your restoration project of the Sno-Traveler look fanastic. The only thing I need from you now Diane is your secret as to how I can convince my wife to let me display my antique sled in the family room?!
