I always wanted one of those old car/boats. There use to be one here on Lake Ray Hubbard I would see from time to time but haven't seen him in a few years now. It looked like a '57 Chevy car but he could just drive it right off the boat ramp and into the lake then back on to land again. I saw him many times way out in the middle of the lake just motoring around. Don't remember what they were called but they were factory built car/boats and the looks he would get at the boat ramp and on the water were priceless. LOL


President LBJ had one of these vehicles at his ranch. He would take visitors for a ride and drive towards the lake screaming about the brakes going out, just to freak out the passengers. roflmao Sounds like my kind of guy

They called it an Amphicar if I remember correctly. It had two propellers in back. I saw one on Lake Marble Falls when I was a kid. I don't remember if it's on display at the LBJ Ranch. It's been awhile since I've been on the ranch.
