There's a definite attraction for things that were around when we were young.
Most young people notice more detail (without necessarily studying it) especially if they are 'interested' in the subject.

I know I can recognise all sorts of vehicles that were current when I was a youngster. I can also 'differentiate' - ie spot differences - on such, whereas I struggle with modern models to identify from the (apparently) subtle differences. This applies to things like aircraft, too . . .
