Picture from the trailer. I think we already have one of these amphibian cars on the site, but I do not remember under which make (and if it was exactly the same or not). |

Amphicar www.amphicar.com Manufacturer is Quandt Group according to Wikipedia, so Quandt Amphicar I guess. ...but cannot find a listing for it already shown on this site. -- Last edit: 2006-06-06 12:12:42 |

I think we only have two Volkswagen, even though there are quite a few makes to choose from: http://www.schwimmauto.de/ |

The car that was used in, and then cut from the finished film, Factotum, is a 1967 Amphicar 770, the only model of Amphicar, made in Germany 1961-1968, by Amphicar, a separate entity from other car companies of the day. Factotum was filmed in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The car is owned by a Minneapolitan, and used in the water, on a regular basis. There are at least 20 Amphicars in Minnesota, many are used when the lakes are not frozen. Of course, they could be used on top of the water, in the winter, but a convertible really isn't that much fun on ice. Plus, Amphicars have a fairly lousy heater/defroster system. It is minus 11F as I write this. |

This car was not shown in the movie or the trailer on the DVD, as lelms pointed out above. |
