Still going...
 

Well, the three companies that it took to build the MH Ford Snogo are still up and running.

Klauer is making as many snow bloweres as ever, and even Marmon-Herrington I believe is still out there trading as Marmon.

Most of the large-truck manufacturers in the US were consumed by PACCAR, inheritors of Pacific Car and Foundry who made the Dragon Wagon.

Even still trading as Marmon-Herrington! http://www.marmon-herrington.com/

And quite a number of truck manufacturers in Europe, like DAF and Foden and Leyland...

Hanno:

Good observation, it is even more complicated in the US.
Volvo Truck Corp. now owns the following US nameplates.
White
GMC
Autocar
Mack
Renault, who bought Mack
Volvo had to spin off the Mack/Renault municipal truck business due to monopoly considerations but I believe they are still connected somehow.
Daimler-Chrysler owns these.
Freightliner
Sterling (ex Ford)
Western Star

As an American, I am a bit saddened by the fact that little of our so called Class 7 & Class 8 trucks are made by "American" companies today.

On the other hand, as an "honorary Swede, thanks to Stellan" I am happy that my former employer of many years, Volvo, has a big part of the US heavy truck market. Not that happy about the Daimler-Chrysler stuff but business is business.

Sicard Snowblowing trucks-Made in Canada
 

Used to see them a lot.Painted yellow for the Canadian Air Force,mostly post war,although they may have made them during the war??Anyone have updates on them??

Sicard
 

Evening Garry:
A Google search seems to indicate that the company was sold sometime after WWII. Mr. Sicard passed on just after the War.
I did not get into it much but if you go to www.sicard-snowblast.com you can probably dig up something. The company seems to be now based in northern New York.
