Have You Ever Seen a Boat Car?

 

Car boat by Don NewbryWell, this was a first for me.  


While visiting my brother Dan Vasvary in Tennessee, we had stopped to visit friends and hit a bucket of golf balls.  While there, this boat car drives into the parking lot.  WOW...as you can see, it was an incredible site to see.


Don Newbry starting building this boat car three years ago. He said "I wanted a convertible, and this is what I built".  It is a 1973 Glastron GT 150, with a 1971 VW chassis. Don says his next project will be a 17 foot cabin cruiser on wheels.  I can't wait to this a cabin cruiser on wheels.


Below are some more photos of the boat car:

Very Cool. Reminds me of 007.

Chris, they were on their way to do a photo shoot on the car boat  when I took these photos. This same boat model was used in a 007 movie.

Ummm, now that would be an interesting way to get from island to island.  I wonder if it's ocean-going?

Rebecca - OMG!  That is absolutely wild.  I agree too - it looks like something from a James Bond movie.  Thx for sharing Rebecca.

That is funny! I was expecting a joke, but no, it really is a boat car....Keep that camera handy.

Pretty nifty Rebecca. Some people have WAY too much time on their hands.

Posted by Terry Chenier (Homelife Glenayre Realty) over 2 years ago

Kathleen, I keep my camera near by. THinking of getting a smaller one for my purse.

Terry, too much time, or just like restoring things.  Whatever floats your boat...

Oh man I need one of those only in bright yellow.  Would that be a blast - or what- driving around town in a boat car.  Love it!  Love it!  Love it!

 

LOL whatever floats your boat!!!

I know you could really sell those in Lake Havasu City, Arizona!  Too cute!

Thanks for stopping by the Cosmic Cow Pie.

Posted by Carra Riley CRB, CRS, GRI (Author, Speaker, Consultant, Second Homes AZ LLC) over 2 years ago

Lee and Carol, yeah the heads they were a turning for sure.

Anna, yeah a yellow boat car...would be great for the Arizona weather.

Carra, you bet you could sale 'em there.

Rebecca, wow, that's unique!  Does it pull skiers?  I bet people on the street get whiplash when he goes past!

Posted by Tony Cannon, e-PRO & Darcy Cannon, SFR - The C Team (RE/Max Velocity Realty) over 2 years ago

Great idea.  I am more in the market for an airplane car though.  Where you could just take off from a highway and fly above all the mess.  That would be great

Posted by Brian Griffis (Realty Choice) over 2 years ago

Tony and Darcy, no skiing...did you see the license plate "cantski"...love it.

Brian, that would be great....an airplane car.
