The basic idea is to create a vehicle that will
drive on land then cruise down a slipway into water and continue on almost
unhindered. You need to keep the engine dry (unless you're using a diesel
engine) yet maintain a drivetrain to your wheels. Steering, exhaust and
other things that are no problem on a normal car can create massive headaches
on amphibious cars. The army had one called 'The Duck' which is a 6-wheeled
amphi-truck. A couple are still in use, giving tours around Washington,
DC.
