Russ Cihlar cruises the Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal in style—with his Amphicar.

Russ Cihlar’s pet project is part car, part boat 50-50 surf and turf. He discovered his first Amphicar as a teenager and 10 years later had a dream about it. So Russ purchased the car from a Door County farmer and for 14 years tore it apart and rebuilt it. He’s been cruising the Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal and turning heads ever since.
