Maybe I've just become jaded by it all, but those older ads also felt steeped in a different kind of consumerism, angled at a different kind of consumer. Still interesting to read, but I don't find them any less passe just because they're a few decades removed from your Sears catalogue.

Yeah, you've got a point. They're still ads at the end of the day. A lot of the design language is also very much a product of the time. Very type-heavy (I'm reminded of the magazine Ray Gun) and a lot of "attitude".
