Set sail in the Fiat 1100 Boat Car by Carrozzeria Coriasco

There are a few ways to tackle the problem of wanting to have a boat and a car but only having the space (or budget) for one vehicle.

But by the time many customers who had ordered an MKZ actually got their cars, Lincoln already was out on DVD.
