    In the song endless summer someone messed up with the lyrics vs. the video the car he speaks of is a 1968 Olds 442 Convertible however; Aaron is singing about his 1967 Olds 442. Fact checking information would save these artist from looking stupid because of a simple mistake. Being an Olds Collector this was distracting to hear a beautiful car being misrepresented in the video. Who ever wrote and directed this Video should be fired or put on Blast for this.
