As of February 18 amphicar.com has a new home! It appears that our transition to a new host has gone smoothly, but if you see any issues with the website please contact webmaster@amphicar.com with your insights. We hope you enjoy the updated look of amphicar.com. As you delve into our site you will find the same information, slowly morphing into a new appearance. Over the years it has taken many people hundreds of hours of volunteer effort to get to this point and at the risk of missing someone very important we cannot properly attempt to individually thank all those responsible. Please visit THIS LINK for a selective look back through the development of amphicar.com.
Thank you for your support of the IAOC.

Summer Driving Performance Tip: When the air temperature is over 70° does your engine temp seem to read degree-for-degree higher with the rising ambient temp? Take a look at your engine cooling fan mounting on the water pump. Proper mounting of the fan is with the rivet heads toward the engine block (the radiused side of the fan is the forward edge in rotation)

Although the air flow is in the same direction either way, you are losing about 15% efficiency if the fan is mounted backwards – perhaps just the same 20 – 30° you are running a bit too warm? Fortunately, the fan can be swapped with just loosening the radiator mounts and some very flexible wrists!
