Interesting. Needed to have proof read. Many of the models are mislabled with incorrect info.

Frank you are absolutely correct. The errors in labelling are tremendous and so numerous that it is impossible to name all of them but a few examples that stand out are sealed beam headlights in a 1928 Model A, identifying the first picture of a 1954 Skyliner as a 1952 and possibly the most egregious is calling a 1960 Edsel a Galaxie. What really bothers me is that this was put together as a documentary and they use modified cars which distorts history. End of rant.

The 1913 "Ford runabout" is actually a Packard.

Yes, but other than those minor infractions, it's spot on...kinda...maybe...well, maybe not!!
