It gets romanticized, part of it is for good reason. Cool cars everywhere, mini-skirt was in full fashion, no AIDS, the pill becomes widely used and the sexual revolution was on, a cool car mattered more then to more people, racing on the street was a slap on the wrist, cops took your beer instead of the car and you didn't automatically go to jail, races were easier to find, headers and a cam mattered and were easy to do, EDM didn't dominate pop music, etc. etc.
When was the last time people really cared about cars and the fastest one in town was known by most people there? Even into the 70's midnight flat spots even in small towns could have a hundred cars there just to just to watch the king of the street face off against a serious challenger.
The cars have only gotten better than those classics in about the last 10 years. Word though on a/c my next one will have it.
