Amphicar

A German make from the 60es, it could run at 120 km/h on roads and 12 km/h in water. It never really took off, partly because its grease fittings demanded attention after every trip in water (this required partial dismantling) and partly its high price (double that of a VW Beetle) Besides a driver's license the driver also had to have a boating lincense. Still, this luxury toy has a solid fan base even today

Remember them well. Seemed to me at the time they resembled the body of the popular 1957 Chevy. Nice photo of this one which appears to be in great shape. V

Nice shot. I remember these. Seemed so exotic and outlandish at the time. Didn't know you needed a boating license. "V"
