Bizarre Diving Ford Weird 1981
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

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.
