Everyone has heard of a Power Wagon, which is a Dodge truck, but today at the Moulton Farm, in east Meredith, a "Power Toboggan" was zipping arund the large, open farm field.

Powered by an Indian v-twin engine and manual transmission that must have started life as a motorcycle engine, the Power Toboggan had backrests for two, constructed of wood-maybe ash, and very much resembled a large wood toboggan, complete with a wind break up-front, and large snowmobile-like traction belt in the rear.

US Army Air Corps - Model C
Authorized Use Only

in official looking lettering, is what it says on the front windbreaking nose of the toboggon.

It sounded almost like a Harley Davidson, and seemed to run perfect on the dry, crusty snow as it circled around a 1/2 mile loop.

Besides the Power Toboggon, about 15 different Ford Model T cars and trucks, and one Ford Model A car, all equipped with tracks and skis, powered around the big field.
