By land and by lake: Amphicar

Submitted by polly on
Who hasn’t dreamed about a car that can go in the water? A German company made amphibious cars in the 1960s and exported them to the United States. Some are still on the road today. Bob Stover of Belfast, Maine, has owned and restored three of these plucky hybrids, which are at home both on land and in the water. For more on Amphicars, see the story at maineboats.com/print/issue-132/land-and-lake Production and Editing: Heather Daniels Pusey Voiceover and filming: Polly Saltonstall Music: "Gravy" by Podington Bear (http://podingtonbear.com/)
