Ride the Ducks

March 3, 2010

Ride the Ducks, Wisconsin DellsIf these amphibious vehicles look familiar, you’ve probably seen them on the battlefield in old World War II film footage. Still used today for river/lake tours in Wisconsin Dells, these “Ducks” are the very vehicles that were used in Europe, the Pacific, and again later in the Korean War. That’s right, they’re army surplus, and they’ve been hauling Wisconsin tourists since the ’50s. These postcards probably date from from the 1960s.
