[3][1] WaterCar vehicles are designed and manufactured at Fountain Valley BodyWorks, an 85,000 square feet (7,900 m2) collision repair auto body shop in Southern California,[3] owned and operated by March.
[4][3] Due to the high cost of vehicle production, the Python was never developed past the prototype phase.
[5] In January 2014, founder March was the first person to drive an amphibious vehicle from Newport Harbor to Catalina Island, a trip of over 30 mi (48 km).
[8] Each vehicle employs a lightweight chassis made of chromoly steel (an alloy of chromium and molybdenum) that fits into a fiberglass hull.
The WaterCar has also been featured in USA Network's television series Royal Pains (S05, E15 • A Trismus Story), on the CNBC episode Just Add Water (S02, E11 • Nov. 30, 2016) of Jay Leno's Garage, and in the movie Vanguard.
