I wanted that binder so bad as a kid! Never could find it.

Back to the Future also likely had some influence. I was 9 when that came out and remember seeing it in the theatre. The 50's seemed like some mythical world that was hundreds of years ago, not just 30 or so. It's like trying to compare today to the early 1990's. Just not the same.
