Description
Video shows Dr. George C.R. Hall's 1925 Snow Car converted from a 1925 Ford truck. It was filmed in 1927 in front of his house on Eldon Road. The scene showing the house was the Hall residence. The man shovelling snow was a handyman. Dr. George C.R. Hall is shown with his wife (Doris Marie Knight) as they get out of the snow car. A copy of this video was provided by Marylou Hall as part of a presentation on her family.
Notes
Dr. George C.R. Hall’s snow car, was a 1925 Ford truck with skis on the front and wheels covered with chains on the back. This allowed the doctor to travel over the snow drifts.
Dr. Hall promised his wife the snow car would never tip over but it did, with her in it.
