…. Maybe it’s just me, but if you produce a website about classic cars, you really ought to get the basic facts right. And with cars, especially old cars, the year is not just a trivial detail. Even if the title of your website is “Les voitures classiques en Bulgarie”. (“Classic cars in Bulgaria”, and I didn’t even have to use Babel Fish to translate that.)
…. Anyway, the problem with the picture was that it claimed to be a 1970 Ford LTD, when it was really a 1969. Now, you’ve probably just said to yourself “who cares?” Well, I guess I do. There are some differences between the two years that make, at least for me, the 1969 preferable.
- The ‘69 has the horn ring, the ‘70 has it in the center bar.
- The ‘69 has the ignition switch on the dash, at the bottom.
- The ‘70 has it on the steering column. The ‘69 has nicer inside door handles.

Indeed. Of course, I would never have known -- except that you said something was wrong, so the wrong date sounds very logical to me.
