The car that could float. Ever heard of a car that doubles as a boat? In the 1960s, the Amphicar hit the market, able to drive on land and then splash straight in the water. With a propeller in the back, it cruised lakes and rivers at about seven knots. About 4,000 were built, and President Lyndon B. Johnson famously pranked guests by driving one into a lake at his ranch, pretending the brakes had failed. While it was slow and leaky, it fascinated buyers who wanted James Bond-style versatility.

A car you can drive right into the water? That’s the idea behind these amphibious cars, which showed up to show off at the annual Wooden Boat Show & Plein Air Festival in Lakeside, Ohio, yesterday. 🚗 The Amphicar was built in West Germany from 1961 to 1965, with just over 3,000 imported into the United States. It can reach a top speed of 70 mph on land and 7 knots in the water. 🛥️ The Amphicar appears to be the only mass-produced amphibious passenger automobile, but enlighten us in the comment
