See The Water Car: First Time in the Water

I was riding through the Marine Stadium and spotted this car driving in the water....

It was a Water Car, built by Fountain Valley Body Works.  It's their third version, inspired by the German Amphicar.  Get this... Most of the 5000 produced were shipped to the U.S.

I found Popular Mechanics' cool slide show of various amphibious vehicles, but the Fountain Valley Body Works vehicle isn't on the list... Maybe next time.

Here it is entering the water at Marine Stadium.
