I guess my 'strata' is from the "Twilight Zone"... many of us still drive our dependable 50's pickups and wear clothes we made while in 4-H (during the 1950's and 60's). Fortunately we had "Frostline kits" and Camp 7 (which I am wearing today (and warm in 80 mph freezing rain) ).
I hope I NEVER have to be stuck driving a car with a PLASTIC dash! or worse Plastic Door handles! (have had a few of those... they work great during freezing rain and snow )
I still am daily using a washing machine from the 1950's, no problem, TONS of diapers have been through it. My mixer, waffle maker (1918), toaster, juke box (1938) and many other items are older than I am. We get along fine together. I left my TV behind in 1968, so no problem there. The majority of my furniture was delivered by covered wagon. I have my grandparents wedding gift bedroom set circa 1918. It still sleeps fine, and is among my 'modern stuff'. I build what I need from forest wood I harvest and cut myself. (so do most my neighbors)

You apparently have some sort of modern electronic device to participate on this thread :-)

Of course not everything is as OLD as I am... my solar (26 yrs) and LED lights are 'new'. Bio Diesel burner and brewer for only 40 yrs...
but still on 'dial-up' cuz I am a USA rural dweller in a restricted zone (no more building allowed, no satellite dishes, no cell towers. no DSL, no Cable, no broadband.)
I get lots better rural connectivity when living in NZ, AU, and Thailand.
so.... it is likely that the USA will soon resemble Cuba (1950's cars are the 'new thing')
I am in the process of creating exactly what you're talking about! There's a small town called Morganza, Louisiana that still has a full service gas station, a sheriff that walks around, a cafe and everything is in walking distance. Currently working on building a drive-in and reopening the general store, antique store and ice cream shop that was open in the 40's.

Apparently scenes from Easy Rider were filmed there.
