Yes, Walrus, that's the name I couldn't think of: Amphicar! And it did have fins!

Jerry R., I didn't know the Parker Co. didn't survive. I could swear I've bought some of their pens (the roller-ball and other types, not fountain pens) within the last year.

And, Jerry, I don't know if I'd say Sen Sen never caught on. It was, in fact, immortalized in Meredith Willson's "The Music Man," which was set in the early 1900s, and it was still on the market when I was a kid (at least 20 years later *G*).

Ranger Steve, I think I saw that story about the stranded Amphicar on the news.
