With some aircraft types being in service for decades it is the cars that really age a photo.

In this advert the small print mentions that these cars have optional push button radios, underriders and wing mirrors. The 2000GXL also has optional fabric trimmed seats.

Over 40 years later the more expensive cars have now done away with fabric and have gone back to vinyl but this time marketing gives it names like MB-Tex, leatherette or SensaTec which is just another name for vinyl.

Going back to the photo it looks like the photo includes a rare shot of a Britannia 707 that has just come off the runway.
