Sitting and Rotting

[Amphicar]

Capt. John, Is that you? It's Gary from Syracuse,NY. I read on the Amphicar forum awhile back that you have a Skyliner, I've wanted to contact you about it, but time just slips by. Two of the cars in the collection I maintain are Skyliners. A red '59 (restored several years ago, a real nice driver), and a '58 which is almost ready for the paint booth. Congrats on your purchase and the pictures are great! C'mon Spring!

Gary.

Gary! Yup it's Cap'n John, (breaking into off key song...) "It's a small world afterall...." A skyliner is a perfect companion for an Amphicar. Both most don't know of thier secret and always brings on a crowd when they go into action. I love my 59 and I was very fortunate to be chosen as her caretaker. She is a great driver.
