1960s Amphicar Amphibious Automobile Driving into Disney Springs Lake Buena Vista

The Amphicar was built in Germany from 1961 to 1968. Total Production was 3,878 vehicles. The Amphicar is the only civilian amphibious passenger automobile ever to be mass produced. 3,046 Amphicars were imported into the United States between 1961 and 1967. The Amphicar is rear engined and uses a 4 cylinder British-built Triumph Herald motor producing 43 HP. All Amphicars are convertibles and the civilian models were originally offered in only 4 colors: Beach Sand White, Regatta Red, Lagoon Blue and Fjord Green. The Amphicar has a top speed of 7 MPH on water and 70 MPH on land. Hence, it was dubbed the "Model 770".

The BoatHouse in Disney Springs Orlando has a fleet of these Amphicars which are renting out for rides around the lake.
