->>HUELL: HELLO EVERYBODY, I'M HUELL HOWSER.
HERE WE ARE IT'S A TUESDAY AFTERNOON AROUND 2:00, IT'S A HOT, HOT SUMMER AFTERNOON.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IT IS, MR. AT A TIME?
>> PUSHING A HUNDRED.
>>HUELL: THE AT A TIME FAMILY HAS INVITED ME TO COME OUT HERE AND SPEND THE AFTERNOON WITH THEM ON THEIR BOAT ON LAKE CASTAIC.
WHAT'S UNBELIEVINGABLE IS THE BOAT WE ARE SPENDING THE AFTERNOON ON IS UNLIKE ANY OTHER YOU HAVE SEEN BEFORE IN YOUR LIFE.
THIS IS A VERY UNUSUAL BOAT.
WELL, NOW WE'RE HEADING DOWN TO THE WATER.
THIS IS WHERE WE GET IN THE WATER, HERE ON THE WATER, WE'RE DRIVING THE CAR DOWN TO THE EDGE OF THE WATER.
WHAT'S THE CASH, MR. TATE?
>> THE CATCH IS YOU BETTER MAILINGEN SURE THE BILGE PLUG IS IN AND THE DOORS ARE SECURING LATCHED, OTHER WIES HE MAY SINK.
>>HUELL: THE STORY IS?
>> MOM AND DAD BOUGHT THIS IN 1967, BRAD NEW.
THEY WERE LOOKING FOR A SECOND VEHICLE AND WANTED A BOAT.
THEY COME UPON A LOT THAT HAD THIS, THEY SAID PUT A TOE BAR ON THAT AND I'LL TOE IT OUT OF HERE.
>>HUELL: THE STORY IS, THIS ISN'T A CAR?
>> YET TO FIND THAT OUT.
>>HUELL: IT ISN'T A BOAT.
>> IT'S AN AMPA CAR.
>>HUELL: MRS. TATE, WHAT DO YOU CALL THIS?
>> AMPA CAR, IT DOES EVERYTHING BUT FLY.
WE HAVE TRAVELED IN A MOTOR HOME FOR 20 YEARS ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES, CANADA AND MEXICO.
WE HAD A HONDA TO RIDE ON AND TWO BICYCLES TO RIDE ON.
WE NEEDED SOMETHING MORE COMFORTABLE, TO PARK OUR MOTOR HOME AND GO TO THE LAKE OR GO TO TOWN OR WHATEVER WE WANTED TO DO.
SO, THIS WAS THE CHOICE.
>>HUELL: YOU GOT THIS BACK IN?
>> 1967.
>>HUELL: WE MET A GUY THAT CAME OVER TO US A MINUTE AGO.
YOU CAME UP AND SAID WHAT TO THESE PEOPLE?
>> I WAS FASCINATED, WHEN I FIRST CAME OUT HERE IN THE LATE 60'S AND EARLY 70'S AND MY KIDS WERE LITTLE, WE USE TO SEE THEM LAUNCH THIS, THE BOYS WERE FASCINATE WITHED IT.
HERE IS A CAR THAT'S A BOAT.
>>HUELL: THEY'RE KIND OF CELEBRITIES.
>> THEY ARE TO US.
>>HUELL: WOULD THEY CAUSE A SCENE?
>> JUST LIKE HERE, PEOPLE STOP WHEN THEY SEE.
>> WE WOULD ASK PEOPLE IF THEY WOULD LIKE A RIDE IN SOMETHING DIFFERENT , THIS IS WHAT WE ENJOY.
>>HUELL: UP END UP TAKING TIME TO GIVE PEOPLE RIDES.
>> YES.
OUR SONNIES CALIFORNIA GOLD.
>>HUELL: BECAUSE HE'S SO NICE TAKING PEOPLE AROUND IN YOUR CAR?
>> RIGHT.
RIGHT.
>>HUELL: COME ON OVER MR. TATE, HOW EXPENSIVE WAS THIS WHEN YOU BOUGHT IT IF YOU MIND ME ASKING?
>> SOMEWHERE HANDER THIRTY-TWO HUNDRED.
>>HUELL: THAT WAS PRET EEX PENSIVE IN 1967.
>> YES, IT WAS.
THEY DIDN'T SELL WELL, NOBODY WOULD FINANCE THEM.
IT'S TWO ITEMS.
>>HUELL: YOU WERE FINANCING A BOAT AND A CAR.
>> CORRECT.
>>HUELL: WOW.
NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THAT.
>> AND IT WAS HARD TO GET BECAUSE OF THAT.
>> UP TO NOW IT'S STILL REALLY HARD TO GET INSURED.
NOBODY WILL TOUCH IT BECAUSE IT'S A CAR AND A BOAT.
>> WE GOT IT INSURED THROUGH AN ANTIQUE INSURANCE COMPANY BECAUSE IT IS 1967 MODEL.
>>HUELL: WHAT MADE THIS CAR?
>> AMPA CAR CORPORATION.
>>HUELL: THEIR OWN CORPORATION.
>> IN WEST GERMANY THEY BUILT THE MOATER ANDS EVERYTHING FOR THEM.
>>HUELL: HOW MANY DO YOU FIGURE ARE OPERATING TODAY?
>> MAYBE A HUNDRED IF YOU COULD FIND THEM.
>>HUELL: IT HAS A LOOK, KIND OF LIKE A NASH RAMBLER, REMEMBER THOSE?
>> YES AND THE TRIUMPH SPITFIRE WAS LIKE THIS.
>>HUELL: IS THIS THE ORIGINAL COLOR.
>> THIS IS THE ORIGINAL COLOR.
>>HUELL: WHAT DO YOU CALL THAT COLOR?
>> TEAL GREEN, THAT'S WHAT I BELIEVE IT'S CALLED.
>>HUELL: HOW HAS IT HELD UP OVER THE YEARS?
>> REAL WELL.
ABOUT THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND MILES BEHIND A MOTHER HOME IT'S GONE.
>>HUELL: HOW MANY MILES ARE ON THE ODOMETER?
>> I DON'T KNOW OFFHAND.
>>HUELL: DOES IT REGISTER MILES IN THE WATER?
>> NO JUST ON THE ROAD.
>>HUELL: HAVE YOU SPENT MORE TIME ON THE ROAD OR WATER WITH IT?
>> PROBABLY 50-50.
>>HUELL: WHAT IS THIS?
>> THE HORN AND THE BREATHERS FOR THE GAS TANK, RIGHT IN THAT LITTLE HORN THERE.
>>HUELL: MR. TATE CAN WE TURN THE HORN ON.
(BEEP BEEP).
>>HUELL: WELL, I DON'T KNOW WHAT OTHER QUESTION TO SEE ASK HERE ON THE LAND.
WE'RE GETTING ON THE LAKE, ITSELF?
>> YOU BET YOU, WE'RE READY.
BOTH BILGE PUMPS ARE WORKING, GET IN LOCK UP THE DOORS AND GO FOR A CRUISE.
>>HUELL: THIS IS INTERESTING, THE ONLY CAR I HAVE SEEN THAT YOU PUT LIFE JACKETS ON BEFORE YOU GET IN IT?
>> IT'S COAST GUARD APPROVED.
SPARK ARRESTERS, LIFE JACKETS, FIRE EXTINGUISHER.
THIS AUTOMOBILE HAS TO HAVE EVERYTHING THAT A BOAT NEEDS.
>>HUELL: YOU HAVE TO MEET BOATING AND CAR REQUIREMENTS.
>> YES.
I HAVE NICKNAMED IT, DOUBLE TROUBLE.
THE TROUBLE OF AN AUTOMOBILE AND A BOAT.
>>HUELL: AND IT'S THE FUN OF AN AUTOMOBILE AND BOAT.
>> ALL THAT AND MORE.
>>HUELL: YOU ARE CARRYING IN, IN THEIR TRADITION.
>> YES.
>>HUELL: YOU DROVE AROUND IN THIS AS A SDMID >> YOU BET YOU.
MY KIDS WERE EMBARRASSED BY THE CAR.
>>HUELL: THEY WERE EMBARRASSED?
>> NOW, THEY CAN'T BELIEVE.
THEY WANT A RIDE EVERY CHANCE THEY GET.
>>HUELL: IF YOU WAIT LONG ENOUGH THINGS COME AROUND.
>> THAT'S RIGHT, TRADITION.
>>HUELL: OKAY.
WE HAVE IT CRANKED UP.
WE'RE RELEASING THE BRAKE >> PROPELLER GEAR SHIFT.
>>HUELL: OH, MY GOSH.
OH, MY GOSH.
THIS IS A STRANGE -- THIS IS A STRANGE FEELING.
>> ISN'T THIS LOVELY?
>> NOT A HASSLE.
HAVING TO GET IT ORGANIZED, PUT IN THE WATER, OFF OF A TRAILER.
YOU JUST DRIVE IT IN.
>>HUELL: JUST DRIVE IT IN.
THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF THE MOST UNUSUAL THINGS I HAVE DONE IN MY LIFE.
>> IT WAS WHEN WE STARTED TOO.
>>HUELL: RIDING IN A CAR OR A BOAT.
>> YES.
IT DOESN'T GO FAST.
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO GO FAST, LIFE IS TOO SHORT.
>>HUELL: YOU ARE SITTING BACK THERE LIKE THE QUEEN BEE.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
I HAVE LEARNED TO RELAX.
>> HOW FAST WILL IT GO?
BIFRJTS 12 KNOTS IN WATER.
>>HUELL: WHAT IF A WIND CAME UP, COULD THIS GET SWAMPED?
>> NOT VERY EASY.
->>HUELL: IT'S RELIABLE.
>> OH, YES.
>>HUELL: HAS IT EVER STARTED LEAKING ON YOU?
>> NO.
WE TRY TO KEEP IT UP , THE GASKETS AND STUFF SO IT WON'T LEAK.
IF IT DOES IT HAS TWO AUTOMATIC BILGE PUMPS ON IT.
>>HUELL: THIS IS THE MOST INTERESTING THING, I WONDER WHY IT DIDN'T CATCH ON.
>> IT'S HARD TO GET LICENSED AND INSURANCE.
>>HUELL: THAT'S IT.
>> THEY DIDN'T SPEND A LOT MONEY PROMOTING IT OR ADVERTISING IT.
>>HUELL: HOW DID YOU FIND OUT ABOUT IT?
>> WE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE BOAT UNTIL WE SAW IT ON THE CAR LOT.
IT LOOKED SO ODD AND WE TURNED AROUND THREE TIMES TO LOOK AT IT.
I BUY THINGS LIKE THAT.
>>HUELL: WHEN YOU BOUGHT THIS ONE, YOU GOT SOMETHING.
>> WE DID.
->>HUELL: I GOT MY BACK TO THE DOOR, I'M AFRAID I'M GOING TO GO UP AGAINST THE HANDLE BY MISTAKE.
>> THE HANDLE IS DOWN HERE.
>>HUELL: A SAFETY HANDLE.
>> EXACTLY.
>>HUELL: THIS IS SOMETHING.
HOW FAST CAN WE GO?
>> WOW.
>> HANG ON, THIS IS IT.
>>HUELL: LOOK AT IT COMING UP OVER THE FRONT.
LOOK AT THIS.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
>> I'M HAVING FUN.
EVERY NOW AND THEN WE HIT A WAVE AND IT COMES OVER THE TOO MUCH IT.
IT'S A FAIR WEATHER BOAT.
IF THE WEATHER IS ROUGH YOU ROLL THE WINDOWS UP AND IF IT'S REAL ROUGH PUT THE TOP UP AND TURN BOTH PUMPS ON.
I HAVE HAD IT IN ROUGH WATER AND SHE DOES FINE.
>>HUELL: LET'S BLOW THE HORN ONCE.
(BEEP-BEEP).
>>HUELL: WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING ABOUT?
>> THE HORN GETS ME T BRINGS BACK THE MEMORIES.
>>HUELL: TALK ABOUT YOUR MEMORIES FOR A MOMENT.
>> LIFE IS JUST A JOY, THAT'S ALL.
WE'RE STILL MAKING THEM.
A LOT OF THAT JOY HAS BEEN SPENT IN THIS CAR OR THIS BOAT.
>> YES WITH THESE KIDS.
>>HUELL: WE HAVE A WHOLE BOAT LOW LOAD WITH KIDS WITH LOUIE.
>> WE HAVE TWO CHILDREN, SON AND DAUGHTER.
OUR SON GAVE US FOUR CHILDREN AND OUR DAUGHTER GAVE US TWINS AND ANOTHER SON.
WE HAVE SEVEN GRAND CHILDREN AND ELEVEN GREAT GRAND CHILDREN.
OUR GRAND DAUGHTERS NAMES ALL START WITH A, AMBER, ASHLEY, AMANDA AND ABAGAIL.
THAT'S A PRECIOUS FAMILY FOR YOU.
>>HUELL: WHO DECIDES WHO GETS THE BOAT AND WHEN?
>> WELL, TERRY OUR SON IS THE ONE THAT REALLY ENJOYS IT AND TAKES CARE OF IT.
WE NO LONGER SERVICE IT.
WE'RE TIRED AND RETIRED.
WE HAVE ALL OF THESE MEMORIES.
BLESS HIS HEART HE SEES TO IT, AND OUR DAUGHTER SEIZE TO IT.
WE STILL ENJOY I LOVE.
>>HUELL: HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN SINCE YOU WERE OUT IN THE CAR?
>> A MONTH AGO UP IN LAUGHLIN.
>>HUELL: WHAT DO THE KIDS THINK OF IT?
>> THEY STAND?
LINE WAITING FOR A RIDE.
>>HUELL: THIS IS HOT COMMODITY, THIS IS RETRO IN THE BEST.
>> THIS IS OUR WAY OF GIVING TO THE HUEP MATEN OF THE WORLD.
>>HUELL: LOOK AT THIS, LOUIE, LOOK HOW WE -- LOOK AT THIS.
->>HUELL: IT'S UP OVER THE WHEELS.
>> YES.
WHAT DID YOU THINK THE WHEELS WERE ROLLING ON THE BOTTOM?
>>HUELL: I DON'T KNOW.
IT'S FUNNY LOOKING, IT SITS ABOUT HALF WAY DOWN, RIGHT?
>> YES.
ACTUALLY IT'S NOT EVEN HALF WAY.
IT DOESN'T PLANE OUT LIKE A BOAT NECESSARILY.
THE FRONT END WILL COME UP A LITTLE BIT.
>>HUELL: WHEN YOU ARE OUT HERE YOU ARE JUST CRUISING AROUND.
>> IT'S A CRUISER, I RUN IT BETWEEN 1800 TO 200 RPM.
THE PROPELER IS QUITE LARGE AND THAT'S A LOT OF PROPELLER FOR THE LITTLE EVENING ANYONE TO SPIN.
>>HUELL: IS THIS THE ORIGINAL ENGINE?
>> THE WHOLE CAR SUMMONS SIDES THE SEAT COVERS.
IT'S JUST BEEN KEPT UP AND NOT RESTORED.
>>HUELL: LOUIE, LET'S TURN AROUND AND SPEED UP TO SEE THE PROPELLERS IN ACTION.
>> WE GOT TO GIVE A TURN SIGNAL, AFTER ALL WE ARE IN A CAR.
>>HUELL: THERE WE GO.
IT CAUSES A LITTLE WAKE.
>> YES IT DOES.
>>HUELL: MY GOSH.
IT'S REALLY SPLASHING UP ON US NOW.
>> ISN'T THAT NICE ON A HOT DAY.
>>HUELL: WOW.
>> FREE BATH.
FREE SHOWER.
>>HUELL: WHAT'S THAT BECAUSE OF THE WIND?
>> I AT ONE TIME WANTED TO TAKE IT TO CATALINA, IN THE OCEAN.
I KEPT HESITATING ON ACCOUNT OF THE RUST SO BAD FROM THE SALT WATER.
I NEVER DID TAKE THIS ONE, BUT THERE HAS BEEN ONE THAT WENT TO CATALINA.
>>HUELL: I'M HAVING A GREAT TIME ON THE LAKE, I'M NOT GETTING IN THIS CAR WHEN YOU GO TO CATALINA.
>> YOU WON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT.
IT'S NOT GOING IN ANY SALT WATER.
IT'S ENOUGH WORK KEEPING THE RUST OUT FROM THE FRESH WATER.
>>HUELL: WE STOPPED BECAUSE YOU WANT TO INTRODUCE US TO SOMEONE.
>> THIS IS A WORK BUDDY, STEVE AND HIS WIFE SHELLEY.
WE CAME OUT A FEW MONTHS BACK AND THEY WERE SO IMPRESSED WITH THE LITTLE CAR AND BOAT THAT THEY WROTE YOU HUELL.
>>HUELL: THEY SENT ME AN E-MAIL AND TOLD ME.
WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT WROTE ME.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> ISN'T IT COOL?
>>HUELL: THEY WROTE ME A LETTER AND SAID THIS WAS THE MOST FUN THEY HAD AND I SHOULD TRY IT MYSELF.
>> HERE WE ARE.
HERE WE ARE.
>>HUELL: I'M SORRY THERE'S NOT ROOM IN HERE FOR YOU TODAY.
>> THAT'S OKAY.
>>HUELL: WE'RE OFF, LET'S HEAD OFF AGAIN.
THIS IS VERY INTERESTING.
IT'S A VERY SIMPLE DASHBOARD.
>> YES.
THE CAR LITERALLY STEERS OFF OF THE FRONT TIRES.
EACH TIRE IS IT'S OWN RUTER.
THE TIRES AS THEY TURN, TURN THE BOAT.
>>HUELL: THE TIRES ACT AS RUTERS.
>> TWO RUTERS, TWO PROPELLERS.
DOUBLE TROUBLE.
>>HUELL: BASICALLY THIS IS AS SIMPLE AS DASHBOARD AS I HAVE SEEN.
>> YES.
A FEW EXTRA KNOBS FOR BILGE PUMP AND RUNNING LIGHTS, OTHER THAN THAT IT'S BASIC.
>>HUELL: WE TALK ABOUT THE POW ERAS A BOAT, WHAT ABOUT A CAR, HOW FAST DOES IT GO?
>> I DROVE IT UP HERE AT THE SPEED LIMIT, 65 MILES AN HOUFRMENT IT WILL GO 70 PLUS.
IT'S AMAZING, THE HIGH GEAR IS VERY HIGH AND THE SLOW VERY LOW FOR PULLING OUT ON THE BOAT RAMP.
IT JUST MOVES RIGHT ALONG.
>>HUELL: THIS IS A GENTLEMEN MAN CAR?
>> WEST GERMANY.
>>HUELL: HOW MANY DO YOU FIGURE THEY MADE?
>> I UNDERSTAND ABOUT 35006 THEM.
THAT'S, LIKE I SAY, THE PROBLEMS WITH THE EMISSIONS AND THE LACK OF SALES DEPARTMENT, I UNDERSTAND IS WHY THEY WENT BY THE WAY.
>>HUELL: YA.
>> THEY'RE REALLY GOOD IN THE SNOW TOO.
THEY GO EVERYWHERE, LIKE A FOUR WHEEL DRIVE.
>>HUELL: WITH THE BOTTOM BEING SO FLAT.
>> YES THE WEIGHT SO FAR THE REAR AXELS AND THE BOTTOM IS LIKE A BOAT BOTTOM AND IT JUST PUSHES RIGHT ALONG.
>>HUELL: YOU HAVE BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY, SNOW, WATER.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
WE HAVE EVEN BEEN KIND OF FOUR WHEELING AT OUR RANCH.
>> IT'S WONDERFUL TO GO ON A LAKE LIKE THIS AND GO FISHING, FISH RIGHT OUT OF THE CAR.
WE GET IN THE FRONT AND BACK AND CAST OUR LINES OUT AND CATCH OUR FISH AND TAKE THEM BACK TO THE MOTOR HOME AND HAVE DINNER.
HA, HA.
HA... >> WE HAVE BEEN MARRIED 56 YEARS, BOY.
THEREBY WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF FUN, BEFORE AND WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A LOT FUN AFTERWARDS, INCLUDING THE CAR AND BOAT.
>>HUELL: INCLUDING WHAT?
>> JAUNTS ON THIS BOAT-CAR.
>>HUELL: WOW.
- >> IT'S COOLED OFF.
>> SUR COOED OFF A LITTLE BIT.
>> FREE SHOWER.
>>HUELL: SEE I WOULD BE WORRIED IT WOULD GET SWAMPED.
>> NOT TO WORRY.
>> THERE ARE NO FLOW IT AINGS DEVICES IN IT.
NO STYROFOAM OR CHAMBERS.
IF IT WANTS TO GO DOWN IT WOULD GO DOWN LIKE A ROCK.
IT'S 2800 POUNDS OF IRON, IT'S A HEAVY LITTLE CAR FOR WHAT IT IS.
>>HUELL: WHAT MAKES IT FLOAT?
>> JUST -- THE WATER THEN THE WEIGHT OF THE CAR.
>>HUELL: THAT'S IT.
>> LIKE A BIG BATTLESHIP.
WE'LL GET THE WAVE OFF OF THIS BOAT.
>>HUELL: HANG ON.
WE'RE GOING TO GET THE WAVE.
OH, BOY.
OH, BOY.
- >> GET READY TO GET WET.
>>HUELL: WOW.
- >> SORRY ABOUT THAT, HUELL.
>>HUELL: WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?
>> WE'RE COOL NOW.
WE'RE COOL NOW.
>>HUELL: I'M SITTING IN ABOUT FOUR INCHES OF WATER.
>> NOT REALLY.
>>HUELL: OH, YES.
>> NOT REALLY.
>> IT WILL COME RIGHT OUT.
>> THERE'S ENOUGH WATER IN THE BILGE THE PUMPS COME ON AND PUMP IT OUT.
(HONK-HONK).
>>HUELL: I MIGHT AS WELL JUMP IN NOW.
>> JUST JUMP DON'T OPEN THE DOOR, PLEASE.
>> ONE OF THE THINGS I GET A BIG KICK OUT OF, WHEN WE GO TO GET IN THE WATER, EVERYONE YELLS WE WILL HELP YOU, WE WILL HELP YOU.
THEY COME RUNNING, THEY THINK THE BRAKES ARE OUT ON THE CAR AND WANT TO HELP ME.
I YELL BACK WE'RE OKAY.
I PULL OUT IN THE WAR AND THEY STAND ON THE BEACH JUST DUMB FOUNDED.
>>HUELL: WELL, WE'RE HAVING A BALL OUT HERE.
THIS IS ABOUT AS MUCH FUN AS I THINK I HAVE HAD.
THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH FOR HAVING US OUT HERE TODAY.
>> WE KNOW WE INITIATED YOU INTO ONE THING TODAY.
>>HUELL: A FIRST FOR US.
NEVER THOUGHT WOULD I DO THIS.
LET'S JUST HEAD ON OUT ACROSS THE WATER AS WE SAY GOOD BUY.
WE WANT TO THANK THE TAT FAMILY AND EVERYONE ELSE OUT HERE AT THE LAKE.
THIS HAS BEEN THE EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME ON A BEAUTIFUL SUNNY SUMMER AFTERNOON IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA OUT ON LAKE CASTAIC IN AN AMPA CAR.
GOODBYE EVERYBODY.
WAVE GOODBYE.

>>HUELL: WHAT'S THAT ALL ABOUT?
>> SLOW DOWN A LITTLE BIT, WE WILL PUT THE WHEELS IN.
>>HUELL: NOW IT'S A CAR NOW?
