My biggest pet peeve about period movies is that the cars, trucks, busses, etc. are always showroom perfect and spotless. They are obviously using 900-point restored vehicles. Nobody's car looked like that back then. No car left the showroom with the same quality paint job as a restoration because they didn't have the good paint back then.

Besides, any car that was in the rust belt for more than one winter looked, well, rusty. Not to mention dented. Of course the problem is that the movie makers have to lease their period vehicles from collectors, who are not going to allow the vehicles to be dented and have the paint made dull. Probably the average movie viewer doesn't notice or care.
