Just sold a car I bought new in 2015. I could not believe it was 8 years old already, the thing still smelled and drove like new.
I have thought about that very thing. An 8 year old car that still looks new seems to be a common thing today but not so much 50 years ago.
Ron Howard was in a 1976 movie called Eat My Dust. In it, there was a beat up looking 68 Charger. That was an 8 year old car that looked terrible. There are other movies from the 70s where cars just a few years old looked worn out already.
