THE YEAR
OF OUR MILLIONTH
MACHINE
Wewish J. Armand Bombardier could be around to see that
millionth machine come off the production line this year. What
would the inventor of the snowmobile think about todav's jet-
age styling? Or the incredible technical advances under the
sleek cowling? We
think he'd be amazed - and proud.
In this year of the
millionth machine, J. Armand Bombardier
would have a lot to be proud about. First of all, a million isan
impressive number
of machines. But there's something more
important than quantity. The Ski-Doo* line-up of today reflects
all the experience and know-how gained from the making of a
million machines.
At Bombardier, we've had time to learn all the tricks of
power and flotation. We've found out the pitfalls of operating
an engine in freezing conditions over every conceivable winter
terrain. And our experience shows. It shows in Ski-Doo* styling,
performance and dependability.
Another thing our founder wouldn't recognize is the factory.
From its start in a small garage, it's grown into the most advanced
snowmobile factory in the world. Bombardier employs designers,
engineers, specialists and craftsmen by the thousand. They put
every Ski-Doo* through its paces, both in the versatile test labora-
tory, and on our outdoor speed track.
We've discovered
that the best testing ground of all is the race
track. We're in racing
not only to win, but to learn. This year,
we've been able to make some pretty impressive technical improve-
ments to all our machines -- improvements made on the track to
help you on the trail.
It adds up to a machine you can depend on, all the time.
Your
Ski-Doo* will give you excellent performance in all weathers, on
all terrains.
Look after it well, and it will serve you well. Your
Ski-Doo dealer is always ready with information, parts and acces-
sories. He is backed up by an international Ski-Doo distributor
and Dealer network whose factory trained personnel are equipped
to give
you prompt and efficient service wherever you are in
snow country.
Ride safe ... and have fun!
