What a neat website! I never seen these things before in my life but my boyfriend brought 1 home yesterday, somebody gave it to him they didn't know what it was. We are now going to restore it. It's a yellow penguin type D made from Pengor in 1963. I can't wait to get it all painted up and working I'm going to have a ball!!!!

Kyle,
Do you have any pics of your machine you can send ? I may be able to identify it.
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Kyle. I don't know anything about the graywolf. That wasn't a model of Penguin, so I'm guessing it might be something similar. There were a couple of other amphibious vehicles produced after the Penguin that seemed to be what I'd class as knock offs as the bodies looked so similar that I suspect that a Penguin was used to cast the mold.

Hi, I have what looks to be a penguin but it says graywolf on the side do you know is this a different model or the same thing. Thanks for your time.

Thanks for posting the penguin pics. Brings back memories of the one my brothers and I drove in the early 70's in N. Falls.

I was born in 1961 in Ottawa carlingwood area and one of the best childhood memories i have are riding in my neibours penguin 1964. They had two of them in yellow .Riding up and down the beach in and out of the Ottawa river ,At three years old that floating car put a smile one my face ear to ear . I have searched years to find one and never have.Thanks for your web site as it brings back thoughts of this .
makes me smile
