Cool H2O Cars

This is a picture of an "Amphicar".  It was built and sold back in the 1960's and the neat thing is I got to ride in one of these things quite a few times.  Yup, my soon-to-be father-in-law had his own used car business back then and he owned one, and if I remember correctly it was the same color as the one in this picture.  I also remember it was somewhat of a scary feeling sitting in the front seat, driving down to the beach, right into the lake and watching the water come up closer and closer to the top of the door.  But once you got use to it it sure was cool.  Equally cool, and perhaps a bit more so, would be taking a ride these days in the car featured in the video below the picture.
