Mechanics’ Least Recommended Used Cars for Value, Ranked

The Amphicar, dubbed an “Amphibious Car,” made its debut at the 1961 New York Auto Show. Manufactured in West Germany, it charmed buyers but barely made a splash, with only 4,000 units produced and lackluster performance on land and water.

Quickly falling out of favor, the Amphicar failed to excel as a car or a boat. High-end buyers initially intrigued, soon realized they were better off purchasing an actual boat, reflecting the novelty’s short-lived appeal.
