The tan soft top can be seen both raised and lowered. Body-colored five-lug wheels wear 200-16 Continental military tires, including the spare mounted to the nose. The retractable propeller is engaged for amphibious use via a drive coupling extending from the engine’s crankshaft, while the front wheels are used as rudders. Hydraulic brakes were reportedly fitted in the 1960s, and a new brake master cylinder, shoes, flex lines, and wheel cylinders were installed under the seller’s ownership.
