Cool Car On this first day of summer, here’s a photo to inspire warm weather adventures.  In 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson took a break from White House duties for a ride with friends in his Amphicar. What’s an Amphicar?  Why, an amphibious car, of course.  In this photo, LBJ steers his land-to-water vehicle into a lake at his ranch in Stonewall, Texas.  4/11/65. We want. Happy Summer Solstice!
