The wheels are set low, so that the vehicle stands well above ground level when on dry land. Front and rear bumpers are placed low on the body panels (but fairly high in relation to dry ground). The one-piece [[windshield]] is curved. The foldable top causes the body style to be classified as ''[[Convertible (car)|cabriolet]]''. Its water propulsion is provided by twin propellers mounted under the rear bumper.<ref name="Manwaring">A. L.
