keep in mind though, part of the reason older cars could last so long is because they don't have much to go wrong, comparing to today's cars.

They didn't have satellite navigation systems, traction control, adaptive cruise control, active steering, and all the other modern stuff that can go wrong. They were WAY more basic, so naturally, they didn't even have as many things that could wrong with them like the new models today do. I'm pretty sure the word for that is, efficiency. Technically, since they had less parts on them as a whole, they're more efficient at being reliable. . . if that makes sense.
