If they don't take effort to stay true to era correct examples of the cars then how much effort will be put into keeping the story accurate instead of Hollywooding it up for ticket sales? Though it could possibly end up being my favorite film of all time, when I see inaccuracies in pics from the sets, I realize that the stories of two of my heros may be mistold or not accurately portrayed . . . in which case I would end up hating the film.
The producers / director don't know much about cars, or even care about being true to history. They are clueless about cars, or car history. They are "artsy" people, not car guys. Their purpose is to entertain the general public, and make money doing it. They are not making a movie to specifically entertain the cobra crowd. I know, I own a movie car.
