Not really... several other companies did make amphibious vehicles before the Schwimmwagen...

The Aquada is very cool though, but did you see the pricetag? :-O I'd rather an Amphicar AND a Schwimmwagen (and still have enough change for a small house...) lol

Funny you should say that.

They really are restored WWII amphibious transports. Very cool. Tours end Nov. 28, so you better hurry to Beantown if you want a ride.
