Four-Links – Crashing Deuces, Baja Z reunites with Peter Brock, Coop (not that Coop) vans, another concept sketch display

WaterCar

When we say amphibious car, you think of the little weenie 1960s Amphicars. They are neat little creatures but are not all that great as cars and frankly worse as boats. The creations by WaterCar, however are a different story altogether. These are hot rods on land and sea.

The film is jam packed with vintage 50’s cars and hot rods, as well as signs and other cultural signifiers. There’s also dated advice about picking up hitchhikers and how they may take advantage of the driver. A fun two part series that offers timeless advice, Driving Tips is a good classic video.
