I do not claim for any of this information to be absolute fact, only what I
and others have observed.
Any help on making it more accurrate would be appreciated. I
would also like to add that many of the traits listed for a certain year are
not always limited to that year in particular. The more you see of
Moto-Skis the more you will be amazed by how much the company used up any
leftover pieces from the year before, from small details like bumpers to entire
bodies reworked to become a part of the next model year. It goes without
saying that this can create lots of head scratching and confusion but at the
same time makes every machine, no matter how common the body/engine combo,
different and exciting.
I would like to thank George Dufrane Jr. for sending me an amazing amount of
information to help
create an accurrate history. Thanks also to George Dufrane Sr. and all of
those who contributed
valuable information especialy on the elusive early years and available engines
by year. One must also not forget
Charles Grimshaw and Edward Marlowe for their contribution to Moto-Ski in the
early years as
Dufrane Motor Distributors employees.
