Model A in Cuba

What is the origin of that "Baby Lincoln" radiator shell ornament?

Juggler,

How did you managed to post those pictures??

One of them tried again in 2004 using a 1959 Buick, the interior was welded to be watertight, the prow of a boat was attached to the front of the car, and, amazingly, the car was fully functional and still had its tires.

It too spotted and sunk.

In 2005, once again one of the original "truckonauts" tried once again. His craft, a converted 1949 Mercury station wagon, appears to follow the design of the second-attempt 1959 Buick car boat. It carried 13 people and was stopped at the usual area just off Key West. The Mercury was apparently originally a taxi.

No Model A's. I guess the oil slick from leaky real engine bearings would give it away too soon.

I pulled theses pics off the web, I think it is fasinating that the builders of these anphib-cars would be so meticulous as to paint the bow of the boat/car to match.

Hello Mr Cochran

The Cab belonged to a guy who worked in a bar next to our favourite watering hole. Corner of Obisbo and Avenue de Belgica roughly

I wanted to tell him that my Dad has a 68B back in sunny Suffolk, but never did catch up with him.

Oh well. Next time.

Leaking and Dangerous just about sums up the infrastructure
