Growing up in Wisconsin, we called them “ducks” because they went on land and water.

That’s a pretty good name. Here in Germany a different vehicle goes by “duck”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citroën_2CV

Fair question. I don’t think any criminal has ever been caught with this thing.
Apparently they used it on one episode of Baywatch, though they had the bad guys drive it: https://www.imcdb.org/v488686.html
