Hey, I'm not quite that old though (I'm Gen X)! 
I would agree with your timeline on vintage bikes though. That would cover the bikes I was riding when I was in my teens/early 20s (and that I traded for a 15" delta thicknessing planer during a period when I wasn't riding 
).

Agreed, I’ve leveraged your point into the “best practices” discussion period in the hope we can all give 110% and no one attempts to boil the ocean. Should we fail to take it to the next level, and aren’t able to promote synergy, it may have to be punted to the 2048 meeting. We thank you for bringing this matter to our attention, and assure you that your concerns are important to us.

...the answer depends on what you are using for chain lube on it.

Maybe a litmus test is you bring your bike in to a bike shop and they're not quite sure how to work on it.

Vintage red bikes score higher on the scale in accordance with the bylaws.
