People didn't drive as much "back in the day" as we do now, that's part of it. There is a reason old odometers only went to 100K. The other part is they weren't nearly as reliable, or if they were they rusted away depending on where you lived. This hasn't been a real issue since the late 70's/80's though.
Every car my family has owned in the last 3 decades has gone well over 200K miles with just regular maintenance and the occasional repair.
