Can anyone tell me a little bit about research in the 1970s before I get annoyed with an author?
The story I’m reading was published in 1975.
I tried to look up a car part mentioned. (A strapontin) but the it turns out the specific car wasn’t made until 5 years(at least) after the story says. I mean why mention the year, make, model if it’s wrong? Even in the 70s?!

Mentions: the strapontin of a 1924 Rolls Royce Phantom II which as far as I can tell was introduced in 1929 as a replacement for the original Phantom.
