EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing print from 1981, we witness a truly bizarre sight - a Ford Escort submerged in a swimming pool, testing the effectiveness of a new water repellent lubricant spray. Despite being completely underwater, the car's engine continues to run smoothly, defying all expectations. The daring experiment was conducted by Holt Lloyd, a British marketing company working on behalf of LPS1. Their aim was to showcase the remarkable capabilities of their product and its ability to repel water even in extreme conditions. The Ford Escort served as the perfect test subject for this unusual demonstration. As we examine the image closely, we notice a pipe at the rear of the vehicle which serves both as an air filter and exhaust pipe. This ingenious design allows for continuous airflow and prevents any damage to the engine while submerged. This snapshot captures not only our attention but also sparks our curiosity about what other peculiar tests were carried out during that era. It serves as a reminder of how companies pushed boundaries in their quest for innovation and market dominance. Although details about this specific photograph remain unknown, it undoubtedly stands as an emblematic representation of automotive experimentation during the 1980s – weird yet fascinating moments frozen in time on Memory Lane Prints.
