This picture was submitted by John Isetta He had the following to
say about the picture.
"The photo is from a photo shoot on the history of hip-hop. For some reason the art director thought putting the two remaining artists of the group Run-DMC into an Amphicar by the Statue of Liberty would make a good photo shoot. Here the driver is putting the car into position for the artists to transfer into from a waiting boat I took this photo from. They were better men than I am for I wouldn't have the nerve to try this with mine. All went well.. " |

The following is a rather cute true story
about the Amphicar that was submitted by Ed Parsil, Tucson AZ
We lived in Hoboken NJ from 1960-68, and the
Amphicar importer was about 10 miles west in Moonachie - acres covered
with Amphicars. We had a 1959 Triumph TR10 (Standard, predecessor
of the Herald) at the time, nearly the same engine.
There are still some really nice ones around, we frequently have 2 or more at our Southwest Unique Little Car Meets, which rotate annually between Nevada, California, and Arizona (since 1981) And Alan Jackson, the Country singer, owns
one and drove into a lake to fish from it in the video of his song
