This is a lovely shot:]

I wonder why the amphicar never took off? ;-)

Great shot, cool idea cool car. I is good for a fishin journey???

Fantastic!!!

Fabulous! The bodywork looks reasonably Heraldish too. Though I don't think the Herald had little fins on the rear wings like that. And obviously it had a radiator grille.

Very interesting genre. Strangely endearing.

The picture itself speaks volumes, about science and detectives of those times

Jackson & MacDonald, 360-362 Kent Street, Sydney (1927). In 1906, Messrs. S.J. Jackson and D.S. Macdonald commenced business in Sydney as jobbers (wholesalers) of ‘Edison’s cylinder records and phonographs. A few years later they began importing talking machines to play the new ‘disc’ records and these were marketed under the trademark ‘REXOPHONE’. The next step was to import motors, tonearms and soundboxes from S.A. Thorens, Switzerland, which were assembled in Sydney to locally made talking machine cabinets and sold under the ‘REXOPHONE’ trademark. Early in the nineteen twenties, the ‘PRISMATIC’ Reflector Sound Chamber was patented. Made of wood it gave a much-improved volume, purity, and richness of tone for which ‘REXONOLAS’ were famous. The peak of production was reached about 1928/9 when more than 100 people were employed at the cabinet factory, and 120 people in the warehouse. Early in the 1930s, the development of radio receivers and the Great Depression caused a collapse, and production of ‘REXONOLAS’ and ‘REXOPORTS’ ceased about 1935.
