But no rudder. The front wheels of this 1966 Amphicar Model 770 served to steer the vehicle both on land and in water. An Amphicar is the perfect vehicle for all you otters out there. Kylie, heroine of Tempe O'Kun's Windfall novel, drives one of these.
3878 of these extraordinary vehicles were produced by the Quandt Group in West Germany between 1960 and 1965. Marketing continued through 1968. The US market for the Amphicar fell victim to new environmental and USDOT emissions and safety equipment standards that went into effect in 1968.

It makes me wonder what their models of today would look like if the company had survived to the present. Perhaps something like this: https://www.watercar.com/
