	Nothing anyone can post will top ^that^ video! Not very retro but I'll go for the Sea Lion. This remarkable brushed aluminum and stainless steel amphibious supercar is capable of land speeds of approximately 180 mph (290 km/h) - ample to break the existing land speed record for an amphibious vehicle of 125 mph (201 km/h). moar >

	Well: although I suspect parking it may be an issue! Or the amazingly titled Aton Impulse Viking-2992 but let's not forget the Lada Niva Marsh as flotation tyres are cool.
	This is now a clicky linky!

	This; looks awesome, but sadly according to popular belief the kit wasn't that well conceived.

	Not retro, but it's a coach that can swim! Something for the odd-ball file, an amphibious touring bus. Yes, I’m talking about a bus that floats. Made by Amphicoach Amphibious Tourist Bus, this party-style bus seat 50 and includes LCD screens, DVD players and PA system. The amphibious bus complies with all E.U. legislations for passenger vehicles and is made to handle salt- or fresh-water. You have a choice of 250hp or 300hp diesel engines along with two- or four-wheel drive options. In the water, it’s being propelled by a jet drive specifically for the bus and can travel up to eight knots. Pricing is on a need-to-know basis, so I’m guessing not cheap. Not sure how it will handle high waves in the ocean, but it is built from marine grade aluminum
