My Other Car Is An Amphicar

The owner of our 1964 Amphicar 7-70 recently visited us here at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop and he arrived in style! If an amphicar wasn’t cool enough, the 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicorn is certainly an eye-catching vehicle. It may not be a classic but we still love it just the same!
