November, 1983 - Wisconsin
The foundation for an antique club was formed on Labor Day weekend back in 1976, when Jack Woeckner of Green Lake, Wisconsin and Bud Wieman of Franksville, Wisconsin met to discuss the idea of establishing an organization to preserve old snowmobiles. Before the weekend was up, Woeckner (representing the Green Lake Antique Snowmobile Society) and Wieman (past president of The Association of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs) formed a new club known as the Antique Snowmobile Club of America.
By-laws were established for the club, designating any snowmobile with a model year of 1966 or before as an "antique." Bud Wieman served as first president of the club and registered 100 antique snowmobiles in the first year
Anyone with snowmobiles that might qualify as an "antique" can find out about eligibility by sending the brand name, model name, model number, chassis serial number and a photo, if possible, to The Antique Snowmobile Club of North America, 1302 Locust St., Sterling, Il 61081
