Found in "Helicopter and VTO World, January-February 1961 issue, three designs for
hovercraft aimed at te commercial and military market. On http://worldhovercraft.org/insider/aug06_printable.htm
a prototype of the Aquagem (Aqua GEM) is shown and three more examples are mentioned.
but with the...
Hughes Aircraft Company XAAM-N-11 model with "Marine" markings found on ebay.
To my eye this looks different than the production AIM-54 Phoenix. Thoughts?
Seller's description:

The "hovertank" is a staple of science fiction novels and board games, yet in the real world fans and skirts never seem to have supplanted wheels or tracks. Does anyone have any projects or prototypes to share on proposed land-based hovercraft?
Cheers,

I photographed this years ago at the Paris air Show but I never found any other reference to it (like designation, specs, 3 views....) I dimmly remember a reference to the cargo bay being kept in the design and could be used as bomb or torpedo(!!!) bay ....

Was suppose to be a counter to the Russian JS III heavy tank. It weighed in at 65 tons with a 120mm gun. Although it did make it into service in small numbers it was a rarity.
