DAVE TAYLOR WRITES
ABOUT PRO AM AND AUTO SKI WHICH WERE BASACIALLY THE SAME COMPANY..........
PRO AM SNOWMOBILE
HISTORY
BY DAVE TAYLOR.
Hi David
The
Pro Am lineup of Snowmobiles
were
produced for the 1974 model year only.
The
1975 PRO AM were put together with surplus inventory.
We
were an Auto Ski Dealer,
but sold a bunch of Pro Am Bikes and only a couple Pro Am Sleds.
For
the 1975 model it was a free for all / pretty well anybody with cash could
buy at the plant in Levis.
For
the 1975 model, you could have them with CCW and even Yamaha engines as
Auto Ski was
trading
excess inventory with Gilles Soucy for engines.
The
1974 Pro Am snowmobiles were identical to the regular Auto Ski
but
with a white cab with the red decals.
Auto
Ski had 10 models, Pro AM 8 MODELS.
It
was indended to increase market share buy offering a second franchise,
this
was not a product offered to Auto Ski dealers but new dealerships.
Like
the majority of the manufactures it was a last effort to increase sales
and penetration.
