Anyone know about this development?

Hi all: In November, '95 Ford Motor Company announced that they, in conjunction with Engelhard Corporation (NYSE - CE) were launching an international test of "ozone destroying radiators." The test was scheduled to run for nine months. Initial research indicated that the new technology could turn an ordinary car radiator into smog-eating filtration systems that would actively fight pollution as they drove along. That was the last I heard about it. I'll have to see if I can find anything new.
