Right You are!
This is the Eurocar Prototype from 1959, that was later developed into the Amphicar!
Well done, another point for you!

I was told this is a repost. Well, it is true - but the original puzzle was misidentified.
So I am inclined to promote it upwards.

yes, that's the one.
It is a repost, though:
http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=8381.0

The correct heading should be Eurocar Alligator, 1959.

Should I merge the two?

I suggest merging them - But with the correct identification!
