Slick tires... in the snow. 10/10 best idea. Works as well as manhole covers for wheels.

If it wasn't for the old timey cars around it I could have believed it is the new 2027 "Extended cab" Dodge Ram.
AFAIK this device was an utter failure. The Soviets figured a much better one (the Kharkovchanka) and to this day those are still in use in the Antartic base.
I wonder how many gallons to the mile that bad boy got.
See that black car in the lower left? I want one of those. I want to convert it to all electric. Then I want to power it using solar panels installed on the roof of my garage.
Out of curiosity, where is this thing today? Abandoned in Antartica? Or did they bring it back for the scrap metal value? Or did it make it to a museum?
(Late edit after some Googling. Thanks wikipedia!) It was last seen in 1958. At that time, it was buried under 20 feet of snow. Has not been seen since. Good chance it was either taken by the USSR, or fell through the ice during a particularly large ice break in 1963.
