Fall River’s Floating Convertible Causes a Stir [VIDEO]

This week's episode of "Things You Must See With Your Own Eyes" takes us to Fall River.

On Sunday, August 11, local author Caroline Gardiner was out enjoying the Taunton River when she encountered a sight that left her and others questioning reality. In front of Tipsy Seagull at Borden Light Marina, Gardiner spotted what appeared to be a floating blue convertible car, fully functional and cruising on the water.

What an incredible sight to behold.

Well, upon closer inspection, this aquatic car turned out to be a boat cleverly disguised as a car, complete with three extra passenger seats. The vehicle glided smoothly across the river, turning heads and sparking curiosity among onlookers.

The identity of the driver remains a mystery.

If anyone has information about the owner of this unorthodox seacraft, please reach out to Gazelle@Fun107.com. I have many questions for this individual and would love to take a joyride in that front passenger seat just for the experience. After all, it's not every day you see a "car" of this stature in the SouthCoast.

Not to mention the impressive detail. It resembled something along the lines of a Rolls Royce or a Chrysler 300.

Fall River is no stranger to quirky and unexpected sights, but a floating convertible car might just take the cake. Keep your eyes peeled. You never know what you’ll see next floating on the Taunton River.

If staying somewhere new and exciting while also getting a taste of international history interests you, then this might be the best local overnight stay you could have. A 1956 Canadian Coast Guard tugboat has been remodeled into a floating apartment in the Providence Marina for a night away unlike any other.
