Word that means influenced by the past.
I'm looking for a word, or all the words that mean "someone or something that is influenced by the past". For example, a car's design is influenced or inspired by car designs from the 50s. Or (could be a different word) a person who lives in current day but seems like he/she should be living in the 60s...they listen to record players, dress that way, act that way etc.
I'm looking for any possible word that could mean something influenced by the past. Throw everything you got at me !

Yes but besides retro. Something along the lines of taking direct influence by the past. or even wrongfully placed in time. maybe like the word
parachronism or anachronism. different however, do you have any other ideas?
