Might've done better with the age demographic that could actually drive it if it weren't named like a bathtub toy. Or at least spelled with an "i", for the ritzy shrimp association.

That said, it looks pretty spiffy. A bench seat in the back could've easily squeezed four people in the 50s. Can't imagine it being street legal, though.

A little dinghy

so confusing.

it says it's a boat.
there's a compartment in fron that looks like it's for an engine?
there are wheels (well, one)
the front two seats have pedals.

From sales lit: "Two choices of propulsion on land -- Inboard motor or pedal power." .....!

Scroll a little more than halfway down this page, past first sets of design/patent drawings:

That is one cool design!

Go, Speed Racer!

This is what I'd imagine Speed Racer's boat-car would look like. It even has room for Trixie, Spritle and Chim-Chim.

I wouldn't mind riding in one of those, but I doubt that I'd fit in there very easily.
