This giant vehicle headed west on Sixth (at Lamar) is an amphibious city tour bus from Austin Duck Adventures. It goes into Lake Austin but I've never seen it there. Motorized launches are not normally allowed on Lady Bird (nee Town) Lake. One day I have to take the tour. (And take some pictures for the blog, too.) The vehicle was originally a British military vehicle according to their WEB site.

They were made in during the 1960s and one was featured as a matchbox model. Here's a link to a small picture of it http://www.matchbox1-75.com/images/1969/1696_61.jpg
ReplyDeleteWe have one here as well. Had a photo of it a while back. They do look like fun.
