Being a car guy, I love to see the old cars shown in period movies and TV shows, but...being a car guy I am kind of nitpicky about it too. They usually do a pretty good job of limiting the cars to the time of the show, and also including older cars, but they are always shiny, clean, and restored looking. Occassional gaffes with newer, bigger rims and lower profile tires pop up sometimes too.
Just watched "The Green Book" set in 1962 I think, they show a street scene from a poorer neighborhood a number of times, the cars are older, but all clean and shiny, the new Cadillac they drive throughout the movie (actually a pair of them, in turquoise!) Looks shinier than a 1962 paint job ever was new, pretty obviously a base coat,/clearcoat finish.
Oh, I can watch the movie and still enjoy it, and I know, movie cars have to come from somewhere, and most all 1950s cars that are still around now look like they are pushing 70 years old or they are restored. However, they spend so much effort and money on costumes and sets, you'd think they could put a little "aging make-up" on the cars too.
As I said, I am not ready to write my congressmen about it to introduce a new law,
nor amI losing sleep, more just curious if anyone else notices the same or similar.
