Dave Fucci pilots a 1948 Bombardier B12 snow coach Saturday at the Vermont Vintage Rendezvous in Bethel. According to Fucci, the snow coach was the original invention of Joseph-Armand Bombardier after his son died of peritonitis because he could not reach a hospital due to the snow. While restoring the machine, Fucci found a small Madonna statuette in the dashboard, which he mounted in a place of honor inside the cab. (Herald / Tim Calabro)
