Pam D’ Ambrosio, from the Ewing & Assoc. Sotheby’s Agoura Office and her husband, Alan Woodcock, enjoy an adventure on the lake in their restored Amphicar. Many hours went into the restoration of this unique amphibious car/boat and they do get many curious stares when they are out on the lake. Their friends enjoy going along for the ride too.
The Amphian was built in Germany in the 60′s and has a Triumph Herald engine. It is referred to as the Model 770 – 7 knots on the water and 70 miles on the road. The car is put into gear (a stick shift gear) when going down the boat ramp and that switches it to the propellers and you are “going swimming” in the lake.
When in the water, the car gets many lookers and as well as questions. Pam and Alan have fun with the car and will at time tell other boaters “We’re lost, do you know where the freeway is?”.
