    Dinner Is Served: 1991 Ford Escort GT

    With its crypto-Billy Idol soundtrack and jiggly graphics, this ad for the '91 Escort stands with one foot in the Eighties and the other in the Nineties. Check out that extraordinarily plastic-looking grille, which warned the unwary of the 127 horses under the GT's hood. Perhaps Team Make:Way is onto something with their choice of an early-90s Escort as their 24 Hours of LeMons entry!
