Halifax Harbour Hopper
The amphibious vehicle was once in the American military during the Vietnam War. Although now refitted with a deck that seats up to 40 passengers, the vessel’s original design was much more basic.
The guy you saw on my blog, from the classic car meet, owns one of these, together with a few friends. They usually drive it to a meet, park it, and then party like mad!
I have been in a thing like that once traveling on a river but my memory let me down where it was. All I remember is that it was a remnant from World War II.
And the paint job was probably a bit different.

ReplyDeleteThey have a few of these in Chicago that they use for sightseeing tours around the lake and into the river.
ReplyDelete...it looks a lot happier now than it did during the war.
ReplyDeleteI like the light hearted painting on this odd looking amphibious vehicle. It looks like a fun ride, wet or dry.
ReplyDeleteI like the quirky way it's been repurposed.
ReplyDeleteI do believe I've seen photos of that before some where...nice capture.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had one for excursions on our rivers! That would wake up all those guys pretending they're fishing on the banks.
