Original Toronto Star caption: Down to the sea on wheels; The sight of Amos Beaudet of Milton driving his 1965 Amphicar down Oakville Harbor last night past moored yachts - and then up the launching ramp; onto the highway and home - had a lot of people rubbing their eyes. The German-made Amphicar was a sensation of the early 1960s; with its ability to operate on land and water; but it was discontinued in 1966 because the price; $6;600; was too high.
