Fun, but....
My old Australian Falcon wagon (1971) used to do the same.....but not always when you wanted it to :-o
In the "old days" driving around Aus, creek crossings were common, and drying out your drum brakes was a necessary task.....usually just with judicious use of the brakes, but many an unwary traveler ended up red-faced (or worse) with brake failure.
