Also bonus Corvair Amphitruck that is finally out of the resto room!

Kinja'd!!!

As Harvey was unleashing its fury on Nashville we made sure to ask the Museum Education Director if we could use some vehicles to float home if it got really bad. The list included the Amphicar, the Corvair Amphitruck, a Beetle(they can float), one of the propeller powered canoes, or the LARC.

Check the Lane Motor Museums website. They have everything from the Mini to the Trabant Tramp.

That larc is absolutely huge when you see it in person. Pics don’t do it justice. And also Lane motor museum is the coolest place in Nashville IMO ( only been once). And cool century.

I’ve been on cruise ships and I still don’t understand how the larc is supposed to float.

I saw a brand new century once, it was a bit over seventeen years ago.

That’s only 7 years from being importable. Also that would have been a V12!

That was a joke about the 1900s ending.

It’s on loan from a guy in Maryland. He bought it in North Carolina(from the guy with the Nissan Figaros), then drove it to Pebble Beach, then had it shipped to lane on loan.

I didn’t ask so no idea. My dad and I are working on buying one for his shop though so we may be able to hook people up.

Can you usually sit in something at the Lane if you ask respectfully/politely, or is it because you’re at an event?

I asked and one of the advertising coordinators allowed me to as this car was a driver but most cars more then likely no on a normal day.
