We saw one of these at the Auburn-Cord-Duesenburg museum in Auburn, IN. It's a beautiful car.

What a shame!

I don't think even beer can make that one better... Ouch, salt water, that must be good for the computers and electronic systems..

I have read the only way to have this car serviced is to return it to the factory. I guess if you can afford to buy it then its no big thing.

Proving that you can't do anything in privacy anymore, someone was actually filming the car (unbeknown to the driver) at the time of the accident for his facebook page. Should come as no surprise there was no pelican is sight.
What a waste of machinery, here's the link to the video as it happens:
