couple more discrepencies:

first hydrogen vehicle:  if they mean first production hydrogen vehicle then thats probably right.  but if they meant first hydrogen vehicle ever i'm pretty sure they're wrong.  hydrogen powered vehicles have been around for almost 50 years.

first swivel headlights:  dusenbergs (sp?) had swiveling headlights back in the 30's and maybe even late 20's.
