NORTHWAY
SNOWMOBILE HISTORY BY ANDY TAYLOR
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE YEARS
IN MY STORY REFER TO
MODEL
YEARS AND NOT ACTUAL PRODUCTION YEAR.
1975
- 1979
Spring of 1974
Northway is sold to a
Mr. Lewis C. Crowe from Barrie Ontario ( SEE PICTURE
ABOVE ).
Mr. Crowe continued to
build and sell Northway Snowmobiles under the Banner of Northway recreational
vehicules.
He was Selling most of
his production on the front lawn of the family home and at one dealer selling
his sleds in the U.S.
Mr.
Crowe was a former Northway dealer and continued to sell Northway snowmobiles
at home and
building
them in his double garage attached to the family home until unfortunately
all was lost in a fire in 1979.
Mr.
Crowe built about 400 Northway snowmobiles
from 1975 to 1979.
Note That Stan Mcrobert
is retired and lives in the Laurentian region of Quebec and
That M. Crowe passed
away in July of this year 2005.
I am in contact regularly
with one of M. Crowes daughters and M. McRobert sent me a
Christmas card last year
thanking me for restoring and showing my Northway Snowmobiles.
End of story. Andy Taylor
