It's a car! It's a boat! It's a 40-year-old, twin-screw chunk of automotive folly!
Amphicars were built in West Germany from 1961 to 1968; total production is generally regarded to be 3,878 vehicles, with 3,046 of those imported into the U.S. between 1961 and 1967.
The first round of regulations by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Transportation Department prevented any from being imported legally in 1968. The factory unofficially designated all Amphicars a model number "770," the nomenclature derived from the fact that its top speed was 7 knots in the water and 70 mph on land.
Amphicars are constructed of mild steel -- many of the uninitiated erroneously assume the body is fiberglass -- and power comes from a rear-mounted 1.1-liter Triumph Herald engine churning out an adequate 43 horsepower and returning 35 mpg on land
This particular one is owned by Gord Souter of Orillia and sometimes he brings it into the local Port for everyone to enjoy. Thanx Gord, it always makes me smile and brings back fond childhood memories of seeing this car on Couchiching.
