1967 YUKON KING

DON AND SHARON THOMPSON STARTED YUKON KING IN THE MID 60'S.

THEIR FIRST INVENTION WAS A WOOD SLED CALLED THE YUKON KING.

DURING THE PERIOD OF PRODUCING THIS WOOD SLED ( ABOVE ),
DON THOMPSON WAS DOING RESEARCH INTO THE PRODUCTION OF
FIBERGLASS FOR SNOWMOBILES.  HE MADE CONTACT WITH SILVERLINE
BOATS AND ENTERED A CONTRACT TO HAVE SILVERLINE PRODUCE A
SNOWMOBILE FOR HIM.  IN THE SUMMER OF 1966, SILVERLINE
PRODUCED THEIR OWN BRAND CALLED THE 1967 T-BIRD AND THEY PRODUCED THE 1967 YUKON KING FOR DON THOMPSON.  SINCE THE 
YUKON KING SOLD MUCH BETTER THAN THE T-BIRD, SILVERLINE CEASED
PRODUCTION OF THE T-BIRD AND ENTERED AN AGREEMENT WITH
DON THOMPSON. THE AGREEMENT CALLED FOR SILVERLINE TO PRODUCE
THE YUKON KING AND FOR YUKON KING TO SERVICE THE T-BIRD
WHICH HAD BEEN IN PRODUCTION FOR ONLY 1 YEAR.

YUKON KING SNOWMOBILES WERE PRODUCED
FOR THE 1967 - 1969 MODEL YEARS.
