    float plane perhaps?

    I agree Snoot - So often in these pictures there's a swimming pool with cars right beside it. What's with that? People drive to the pool in their bathing suits? (preferably not birthday suits )

    In both photos, if you compare the positions of the cars to the people around the pools, I think you'll find that the pools are elevated one level above the cars.

    That thing is amazing!
    Brazil sure had some cool stuff that never saw production in the U.S.

    Gee some things do not change. Lake Louise still looks the sametoday. Never get over the fact some people save their entire lives to see Banff & L Louise once I live 1 1/2 hours away and would thing nothing of hopping in the car and go visit

    Good question! Looks similar to a Borgward to me, but I don't remmber those looking exactly like that. It's got a California plate on it to, from pre '63.
