Corrected entry: On the globe April uses to show their kids where they are moving, Germany is not separated into western and eastern part. Thus, the globe is post-1990 equipment.

Correction: Or pre-1949 when Germany was divided. In that case, not a mistake.

Corrected entry: OK, this is arguably not an error, but here goes: The car Frank drives in 1955 is a brand new (in the year of the film), spotless 1955 Buick Roadmaster, their most expensive, largest 4 door sedan. The car is missing an essential body part that would never be missing from a brand new car: There are no fender skirts.

Correction: Never start a mistake with "This is arguably not an error". If even you aren't sure about it, then you have no business submitting it. In any case, this is not a mistake.

Factual error: The longneck beer bottles in the 1955 beach scene are incorrect. Longnecks are faster to open, so they were designed for and used in bars. Retail beer bottles (that you would see at the beach) before 1980 or so were shorter so they could fit better in home fridge shelves.
