Amphicar BUYER Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 From what I know of that car it was not amphibious but one of the styling fads of the time. There are a few examples of other cars that have boat-like features designed into them. This was long before anyone had been completely successful in designing a truely amphibious car so they opted for looking the part instead.

Layden B Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Nautical styling theme was popular at the time, this one seems to have gone to the extreme! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_OToole Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Looks like a novelty or advertising gimmick. Anhaueser Busch had several nautical theme cars in the late twenties - early thirties, similar to this one but larger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
