Default 411 (1969/1970) cooling fans

When my engine (383) is hot (fans running) and I switch OFF the engine, both fans stop.

This is the way it has worked for the past 35+ years.

The other day, the fans continued to work after switching OFF the engine (like I would expect in most modern day automobiles).

Which is correct – fans stopping immediately the engine is switched off (key removed from the ignition) or continuing to operate until the radiator is cool?

Have I had fault for all these years and not known it?

Many thanks -
