This is correct.

Existing photos were "airbrushed" to either update content or make modifications to existing content.

Sometimes gross errors take place either as a result of the marketeer not really knowing the available options or because of trying to cut corners (like using a readily available car in the photo and then updating to create something else entirely).

This results in errors like a straight six 70 Chevelle SS, which of course never existed except in this photographer's imagination.

BTW - I used to approve the brochure and info packets before they were published as part of my job (...so I KNOW mistakes got out!).
