We all also know there's no way in hell that Draper lived to see 97. He died sometime during the second Nixon Administration.More likely: During Nixon's third or fourth administration.
In the "Watchmen" universe!

I had read that they scanned contemporary weather reports for the show to get the rain to fall on a particular date, as well as looked up old real estate listings when one of the characters was looking for office space to start a new company. In a nod to a fiction of that era, one of their competitors was MacMahon, Tate, and Stevens.
