One of the unique things about some of the manufacturers of the period is that... they only designed one boat. This is the case of Car Aqua.
As you might imagine, there isn't too much history behind a boat that ultimately was designed after a car but there's still some interesting items to talk about.
For instance, the headlights and rings are right from a 1957 Chevy Pickup truck. The grill you see on some models is actually a sticker. Only the VIP model (came with inboard Faegol motor) and the Station Wagon had the "grilled" appearance. The other outboard model didn't have such a grill.
