    Red X's on my Android also. I'm not sure what happened but something has changed. I never had a problem viewing any posts until recently.

    Hey S,
    It sure looks like a 51 after doing a few photo searches. Thanks for pointing it out. One story had it as a 49.

    The HAMB app in Tapatalk is crap...it started doing that to me (on Android) over a month ago, so I ditched it.

    I've since started using my phone's internet browser and actually opened this thread in that, and I've been able to see every photo.

    Speaking of this thread, I will say it's got something for everyone; I'm not big on drag racing pics either (*gasp*), but I like the old cars, street scenes and human interest photos. Thanks to everyone who contributes. :)

    I believe '46 by what you can see of the grille, with the narrow surround and the raised area in the center.

    upload_2017-8-29_8-25-6.png Amphicar: The Amphicar Model 770 is an amphibious automobile, launched at the 1961 New York Auto Show,[2] manufactured in West Germany and marketed in the United States from 1961-1967, with production having ended in 1965.

    Hello,
    My HS friend's dad was an amazing guy. He had connections all over Long Beach and the surrounding So Cal cities. So, one day we happen to be at his house just hanging around. My friend says, "Lets look at this new car in the garage." Well, lo and behold, it was a light blue Amphicar. We had just seen newspaper articles on it and it was a new car for the general public.

    His dad lived on Alamitos Bay in Long Beach and it was the perfect spot to test out the car. This portion of the bay got powerful afternoon winds from the ocean, so we decided that the pre-lunch cruise was the best time to go out. We got the ok. Because his dad knew we both had some mechanical knowledge, if we got stuck, we could probably fix it and get back to shore.

    Boy, it was pretty fantastic. At first, it was a little alarming to see the water come up almost to the top of the door. Once we got under way, we figured out that the faster we go, the more chances for water to splash into the car. So...we became two teenagers cruising around on the water waving to girls on the beach...What a great summer that was back in 1962.
