Accuracy seems to have flown out the window. First car shown was a "1934 Model A 3 window coupe. Looked more like a Hupp coupe to me Than he raves a '56 "Crown Victoria" which in reality was a standard Victoria hardtop. Not to be even slightly accurate the narrator went on to say that Crown Vic's were great police cars in the '50's. The they show a jitney cab '52-'53 Olds needing steering worm bearings but they go to the local scalper and are negotiating for a U-joint to fix the steering. Looney toon cartoons are much better at documentary facts than these guys. One old guy says that finding parts for old cars in Cuba is a real B**ch. Apparently so is the truth. I've watched more exciting test patterns with the indian chief!
