Having owned a '60s classic carbureted car there is no way I would daily that. Never runs the same twice, starting on cold weather is a crapshoot, etc.
While the "classic" pre-emissions stuff is cool I am too young to have enough nostalgia for 50's/60's/70's stuff to overcome the headaches of actually driving one daily.

My 21-year-old son’s only car is a 1969 Mercury Cougar. I think it’s less how old are you and more what is your tolerance level. It’s simple to work on, parts are cheap, turns heads, and is not a depreciating asset. Makes sense actually if you’re ok with no airbags and crumple-zones. He’s branching Infantry so maybe he’s not a representative sample of risk and pain tolerance, lol.
