Yeah the Amphicar and of course it was President Johnson who had one and pranked people. I got to examine one up close, it is a cool little 60s convertible with a retractable clutched propeller, probably super dangerous but looks fun.
It's on display at at his ranch/national historic site in Texas. He used to scare the LIFE out of visitors with it. Like, act like the brakes failed, then power over a dam and into the lake without warning. Sociopath.
There's one at the Gulley Auto Museum in Houston, which if you get a chance to go is amazing for cars.
