after all these years since WW2, and now, they still work!

glorious simplicity in design...I'm surprised nobody makes them now...

They are to cool this is why nowone makes them

Awesome! I would love to buy one of these just to cruise around town in. I don't know why I love the German designed vehicles of WWII so much. I was in the US Army as a tank mechanic and stationed in Germany for 5 years. The closest thing that we had in the US Army during my enlistment was what we called the Gamma Goat. I was assigned and drove one in Erlangen Germany in 1982. One time I drove the Gamma Goat in a convoy all the way from Erlangen to Hohenfels and also Grafenwöhr Training Areas. Best wishes and happy floating!

Wow... Every car should be like this........

Well good to see all the Schwimmwagen in action

Fantastic! Thank you for sharing this post.

Excellent video of the amazing Schwimmwagen!

Ausgezeichnet! Schwimmwagen ist sehr gut! Gott mit uns! 👏🍻💘🌷🙋🙋🙋

The one dude with with the button to raise and lower the prop really outshined the rest of these unsophisticated blokes with their metal rod.

It should be a tribute project. None of these $40K cars float!

Who had a Jeep that could swim across streams.. The Germans. It almost reminds me of those Three Stooges movies and Childrens cartoons where they would throw a electric fan out the back of some connivance and motor across lakes and seas. Happy to see so many of these noble veterans in one place actually in action still. And the spirited owners and operators demonstrating for the faint of heart their practicality for their purpose.

twotailedavenger We actually had 2, the GMC DUKW, based on the 2 1/2 ton CCKW and the Ford GPA, based on Ford built Jeeps. Although the GPA wasn't all that great and wasn't widely used.

Hans lets go visit the Brits ya?

Super Aufnahmen !!!!

I'd love to have one of those, that way I would have a car/boat. Come in handy when it floods

You need that in Manila during the Monsoon seasons LoL!

I absolutely love this little Wagen! B¬)

Great German cars

I'm stunned I've never looked at this one before. WOW!! I could sell my Split bus and buy one tomorrow. Horribly impractical but who CARES!! Totally cool. I just love the way they sit so low in the water, the pics of the formation of them heading down stream.....just gold!! Like em or hate em WW2 German vehicles are the bomb.

Excellent beautiful

great little car !! nice video .

I thought these were rare but there is heaps here. Good to see.

FANTÁSTICO

Cool to think these WWII cars are still around. I would like to have one, but my dream ride would be a Tiger.

Quiero uno de esos, soy de Argentina, muy lindos

That is SO COOL

So freaking cool

Beautiful vehicle, would love to have one

wirklich schöne fahrzeuge ;)

daaaaammmm… III waanttt one of thoooseeee...

I don't know why, I find these comical!

wow amazing

Cool technology for 1942 -44 !! Common VW - make a " marine Golf " :)

Great!

So many at one location, I suppose after the war such vehicles were available to send back to the UK ? and of course as my father told me ( a USA WWII VET ) stuff was all over the place. GO ARMY

Ausgezeichnet!

I WANT ONE !!

se consiguen los planos tecnicos de esto?

German engineering perfect 👌🏼

The great thing about this car is that it does what it says on the tin :)

,olha ate que um carro deste aqui em Niterói ia muito bem. Quando chove , alaga tudo nesta cidade que já foi maravilhosa. Com os políticos que temos. Niterói Rio de Janeiro.

What about the waves?

how much would one of them cost i want one

will it go in water

Top 👍

@SchwimmerDave Indeed, you are right!! I only read the first part of the wiki site: Apparently 155 was merely the total 1941 pre production of type 128

es lo mejor que han podido inventar los alemanes.

凄い！！俺も欲しい～！！乗りたい～♪

so i noticed one of them didn't have to manually lower the prop, why?

Cool

Un rêve oui oui la voiture de mes rêves 😘👌❤❤❤😘👌👍🇨🇵🤙👍🇨🇵🤙

Hey, it floats. Or rather, it swims.

which torque has schwimmwagen?

I wonder what the schwimmwagen does

Éo carro ideal para as cidades brasileiras que vivem alagando.

dear santa :)

lol, wouldn't mind getting one myself it's looks awsome, wouldn't mind driving one of them in the one of the great lakes over here. Could either the uploader or another youtuber tell me the price for a Schwimmwagen, just wondering.

want one

Interesante vehículo anfibios

What type of fuel does it take?

Quiero uno para salir a pescar por el Rio de la Plata

Whats the price 4 one?

Das Problem könnte nicht nur die Strömung sein, sondern auch die Binnenschiffe, die eine große Gefahr bilden könnten und relativ hohe Wellen erziehen. Der SW ist sehr klein...

Does the Shwimmwagen have heaters like the beetle does?

@e-curb

4 жыл бұрын

no. Having Beetle type heating wouldn't help. There are no side curtains for when the top is up.

Is it possibile to buy somewhere such car?

wo bekommt man so ein auto heute noch weg und wie funktioniert der antrieb ?

It seems like an entrepreneur could make a ton of money recreating this

if VW sell schwimmwagen automatic transmission i would get the money to buy it ASAP....

How much cost to have one this days?

You could drive these in Gran Turismo 5. :)

Warum haben die meisten eine Stange mit der man die Schraube runter lässt, aber hier und da gibt es welche, wo es automatisch zu gehen scheint. Wo ist da der Unterschied?

How many of them were produced ? Many survivors? Weird for german engineering that the propeller must be manually dropped.
