- In 1961, Hans Trippel began production of the Amphicar 770: the world's first commercial amphibious car. Powered by two propellers, it cruises through the water at 6.5 knots or 12 km/h. 3,878 units were built.

No mention of the most famous amphicar owner: US President Lyndon Johnson. Whenever he had guests, he would drive toward his lake, without telling them the car was amphibious, screaming about brake failure.
That's freaking hilarious! I would so do that.
Lmao I just checked it's true
Saw the movie just recently, in fact I knew this kind of car exist because of thay, never thought this kind of car was actually built since decades ago...
That's actually why i clicked on this video because i learned about that the other day lol
Will Poundstone congrats, you watched a clip of pawn stars saying exactly that
I remember seeing one of these back in the early 60's. My mom took me on a picnic in the park and told me to watch when this one car came into view. I just could not believe it when the car drove right into the lake! It was amazing. Apparently the guy who owned the Amphicar liked to surprise people during his lunch hour by going to the park and crossing the lake. I've never forgotten how much fun it was to see that.
same car on my father old grage in pakistan ❤💖
I remember seeing the same car in Branch Brook park as a kid in the 60's my mother told me it was owned by the park police who later transitioned to the Essex county police because everyone use to call them Squirrel cops....
Was the owner President Johnson? Lol
The craziest part is that you found someone who had never tried his car in the water and got his first reaction on camera
bro has got the most insane getaway vehicle
My grandparents had one of these when my mother was little! She didn’t know the car could go in the water the first time!
I know where one of these has been sitting since I was a kid. 28 now and it's still there
lol me too
They want to sell it
Me as well
Buy it
@@eljjjaliskillo4453 we would like to buy it if the condition is good or above!
I was a freelance photographer a couple decades ago . There was a small businessman who parked his amphicar in front of his storefront. I passed it a couple times and finally went in to talk to him about it . He told me he would take me and his daughter out in the lake one evening . The lake water was almost up to the top where door windows are open . We had a lot of splashing water come in . i think too many people in it causes it to sink lower towards the lake water level . A driver and one light passenger would have been better but i certainly am not a light passenger lol ! it was a lot of fun !
My brother and I had one in Florida back in the 60s it was about 20,000$ then and was a blast
What happened to it?
@@Jinx_1915
They woke up.
You Lucky You I always wanted one couldn’t afford it tho really can’t now!😳Way it goes !
Wow you guys must have been hella rich. Damn.
I rode in one in 1962. My Dad test drove one from the dealer. We didn't get to swim it. I never saw that anyone bought one in my hometown Superior, Wisconsin, USA. It was an ideal location because we had a large bay with only two bridges that were often blocked when they opened for ship traffic.
Wow! Why did your Dad decide against buying one though? We're curious, especially since we've never encountered someone from across the pond who actually took a test drive in the machine!
My stepfather had one. I grew up with a amphicar, in the water. It was great.
You’ve just made us quite jealous...
My stepfather also had one in haiti 🇭🇹
I wish they still made such a thing. I'd love to have one.
REV has filmed an electric amphibious car. We will post the report next month 😀
I'm from San Diego. Evey day I would see 1 in the driveway. Were I was working. U can see the propellers from the back.
Some guy owned this on my block in Brooklyn when I was a kid. We were fascinated by this vehicle and I've always wanted to own one!
New York is the trash of the world, surprised you guys didn't jack it
Imagine passing a nice boat on the water, I feel like this would be more of a flex then the boat
"First mass-produced amphibious car"
Schwimmwagen: am i a joke to you?
Neighbor has two of these. Has owned them since the 70s. A red one and an orange one. Used to see them out on the lake all the time. Been sitting in the garage for past 20 years or so.
About 8 years ago we were at Indian Lake and saw several of them. what a treat.
They have like a yearly deal where all the owners gather together and have a few days of driving their cars in the lake . They meet at different places each year .
Went on vacation back when I was younger to Laughlin Nevada and some old guy had one of these I’ll never forget he asked if me and my cousins would like to see it drive we said sure he then said hop in and we slowly creeped into the water and we started floating I was shitting bricks thinking god we are gonna sink in this old ass car but no it floated and it was quick for a little amphibious car 😂... fun memories
I first saw one of these when I was six years old. I spent much of the rest of my childhood trying to figure out how to persuade my dad that acquiring one would be a good idea.
I like how he only locks the driver side door
Presumably the passenger side was already locked.
It doesn’t have a roof so it really doesn’t matter
I wanna go fishing in one of those
I remember seeing a silver car that could transform into a water vehicle, thin and high tech looking as a kid, i'm in Australia, I thought water driving cars were something common but expensive, turns out they're not even something people can generally buy.
Im going to need one of these,along with a lowrider....
Thanks
He also need a throw line, bailor and life jacket.
My new idea bel air, Corvette convertible, barbie car in this
They even realize what they invented it’s the car of the future! A spy mobile!
I love it!
7:02 That bird lol
I remember the first time one of the used car dealers took his to the lake which is in part of a residential area. He drove into the lake and it sunk after about six or eight foot into the lake. Me and one of my friends watched him . When it started to sink we both were laughing so hard tears were coming out of our eyes . His dad owned a Drugstore and my Dad was a big time Minister and worked for the state dealing with Juveniles. Later on my friend married the daughter of the car lot . I will never forget that. The lake was only four feet deep .
missing was the fishing rod and fishing hat while cruising.
7:00 - wild goose taking off.
Well spotted!
Is this the Boat of Car I’ve heard so much about?
We could all use one of these when the Big Flood comes!
Currently working on one of these interesting car by far
Seen one of these on Lake Havasu AZ. It was awesome
Architecture myself driving that by San Francisco while everyone stuck on traffic on the Bay bridge I'll be driving in the ocean
I got to see alot of these 2 years ago walking down the the beautiful seaside of pittsburgh, but it was like a tour bus full of tourists
Its a beautiful design.
I want one so damn bad!
rayotwist was tri-color never appeared though suited too
Need this in bengaluru in current situation..
The hellcat was based off this ngl
I wish they would make a truck like that
I like the look this is way cooler then what I expected when I looked up boat car
exacholy
You'd think people living in Vince....Vinace.....that city in Italy with streets of water.....would've bought them.
The Venice gondoliers would be very upset
This is Awesome
thanks!
DW REV - Cars & Mobility Your Welcome
I learned something new today
Wow ! an amamize antique Amphibious car !!! better than much more high technical car right now !!! it's have beautiful feature out look, good driving on-road and simple design !!! I love it so much !!!! of course, not suitable on salt water....ha ha !
Saw a similar car where I live. It was a modified VW bug. What really tipped me off was the plate: AQUABUG... lol
Mc D's owns one 🕐 of those McLaren oops floating car i mean.
My grandfather owned one of these. Would drive to the delta from the Bay Area for some fishing.
This guy sounds like Casey Kasem
I NEED IT!!!
You'll float too!
Imagine fishing in that
Why is no one making any today?
Google - Watercar
Far faster in water, been being made for years in California.
Someone did about 4 months.
this man looks like little finger in GoT
Disney Springs (formally “Downtown Disney”) has 3-4 of these beautiful cars that you can rent for a 20 minute cruise into the lake (their Captain is provided) for around $125 for 4.
My mums friend had one and drove it into the serpentine london- police asked her get out 👻
Now that is funny!
My son and I saw one driving on the causeway two days ago in Clearwater Florida . It looked really cool.
You have to make a pic next time 😉
Does this require a boat license?
4:50 and thank me later
اختراع جميل
Its floating!!!! Its floating!!! 🤣🤣🤣😆😆
@Mike Gee I think as of now there are a lots of other amphicars available in the world. I guess u could complete your bucketlist
I rode in that exact same vehicle the same color no the same rims but I went in the water with it and on land
No you didnt, child. Go watch toy reviews.
Thats a $100,000 car they just dropped in a lake,
@kim bodie found at least 3 in Europe for around £50,000/$60,000
my late dad had one of these. but I was a baby at the time.
Forget floating, he's lucky it didn't get stuck on that sandy beach
It was a good car but it rusted out fast if it was driven in the water very often
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
This just begs the question do you have to pay two registrations at the DMV for your car boat, one for the car part and boating?
Thank you for correctly using a hyphen in the video title.
Bet they're an absolute nightmare to maintain.
But very very cool. I like different vehicles.
My daily driver is a 87 GMC Cabarello.
Littlefinger?.....
Looks like boat on land but more like car on water
Can't get a dui cruising on the water with a beer in your hand with one of those bad boys
Eh i can only imagine the rusted axels, etc...no wonder they didnt last😂
Beautiful corky car 🥰
Ngl i came here from Boondocksm
I know we're thier are two boat car's in Coventry Rhode Island.
Any interest in latest developments in electric amphibious hydrofoil enhanced vehicles?
Yes! REV just filmed an electric amphibious car in Germany!
I wonder if you could tune the engine to go faster?
On water or land? ;)
Both?
"The turning circle is a wopping 35 meters"... said as he turns the car closer 6 meters.
My town has 2. Both owned by the same family. One license plate says "I swim 2"
They were pushing them towards caravaners in Great Britain, for those who also had a caravan that floated. You could just drive up into the water.
You can find this #car (first line production)in #Ethiopia in its own original appearance and grace too...it was owned by the #king #haileselassie
Fascinating. Do you know where he drove it?
DW REV - Cars & Mobility I don’t have that much detail but I know it’ll going to be placed for show in museum which is going to be within the king’s palace in #Addis abeba said prime minister #abiy while touring the palace .
Corona
I saw a guy driving his in a lake near when I was at Disney world. But then again, it's Florida...
Isit just me or this guy look exactly as Aidan Gillen in glasses and with light beard?
Lucky Seven.
