We rode a Duck over in WI Dells and these amphibious car and land vehicles are from WWII. So if they were made in the 40's, they are very old. I do not know if age had anything to do with what happened, so sad.
It depends on the individual vehicle. Some are apparently made from originally WWII-era DUKW vehicles but others are newer vehicles. Their website is down (no surprise) but I remember reading that the original Ride the Ducks company has a manufacturing facility near Branson that makes new ones made to resemble a WWII version.
OK - found something here:

The company operates in Branson, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and at Stone Mountain Park in Atlanta. It also owns a manufacturing plant east of Branson that produces 12 to 15 of the vehicles each year.
