Die-cast companies are just as guilty. The "'37" Bugatti from Hot Wheels is a Type 50. Type 50s were made from '31-'33. They didn't bother to label the car correctly for years after it was released. |

People make mistakes even in magazines. We're human, it happens. At times I don't recognize the differences either in the old Fords and I really like them. http://auto.howstuffworks.com/1962-1964-ford3.htm |

Did you know that HW's Classic Packard casting is actually a Nash? When Larry Wood designed it, he modelled it after his personal Nash, but Nash didn't have the same brand recognition that Packard did, so he altered the design slightly. |

The Mad Documenter!

At least that could be taken as a typo. In one of the many NASCAR books I've read, they said one of the pioneer era drivers was dead, repeatedly. The book came out in 2000...and he's still alive. Not only is he alive, he even uses Facebook! I don't rememeber which book it was, but the driver was/is Marvin Panch. The writer may have been confusing him with his son Ritchie, who was killed in a plane crash in the late 70s, but there's no exuse for that kind of a mistake...or the many other factual errors in the book. |
