December 1973, Gardena, California - American Honda's entry into the snowmobile business is a twin-track, rear engine snow vehicle, the "White Fox."
The first official snowmobile-type vehicle from the giant Japanese motorcycle company designed basically for youngsters and others weighing up to 150 pounds.
The White Fox is powered by an all new 178cc two stroke engine coupled with a torque converter drive system. The narrow track sled has a low center of gravity, resulting, according to Honda, an improved maneuverability and handling. It is further said to be unusually lightweight and offer exceptional fuel economy.
The company says the radically different styling of the snowmobile sets it apart from ordinary snowmobiles. It is designed to fit in the back of a full-sized station wagon, for easy transporting.
The White Fox is equipped with full lighting, fuel gauge, a safety brake lock, recoil starter and fully enclosed drive chain.
