A magazine item headed 'Car Pulls Up Its Wheels To Become a Boat' shows a model of an amphibious car proposed by Paul Pankotan of Miami, Florida. The wheels would retract like an aircraft's undercarriage. On land the driven wheels would propel it, and afloat a propeller at the stern. The body had the sleek lines of a motor cruiser.
