The Amphicar, manufactured in West Germany, made its appearance in America at the 1961 New York Auto Show. They were designed by Hanns Trippel and were able to cruise on land and operate in the water. They were available in the United States from 1961 through 1967.
The Amphicar 770 was capable of 7 miles on water and 70 miles an hour on land (thus, earning the 770 name). It was introduced at the 1959 German Auto Show and entered America in 1961. It had seating for four occupants and was powered by a rear-mounted, four-cylinder Triumph Herald engine that displaced 1147cc and offered 43 horsepower. The doors locked shut for water travel.
This example was purchased by the present owner as a project that had been started.By Daniel Vaughan | Jun 2016
