Which 1960's cars would get over 20 MPG? I don't remember too many other than VW beetles, Corvairs and 4 cylinder Ford Falcons.
Most cars we had in the 1960's were basic full size 4 door sedans with a small v-8 and an automatic transmission that were lucky to get close to 15 MPG. Those cars had no air conditioning, power windows were only for luxury cars, power steering was OK, but power brakes were way too touchy to drive on ice. The radios were glorious AM with one speaker in the middle of the dash. Driving on gravel roads the rear quarter panels and rocker panels would start rusting through at about 5 years of age. By ten years old and 90,000 miles, most cars were about used up. If you can tell, I don't miss those old cars too much.
On the plus side, those cars only cost $2500 to $3000 new, they definitely had styling (good or bad), and highway speed limits were 70 MPH/day, 60 MPH night.
