People will usually add zinc (ZDDP) to the oil and use lead substitute in the gas to make it more like the oil of the day, but for the oil change interval itself, if anything I think it could be longer since today's oils are better than those of 70 years ago. For example, dual weight oils should reduce engine wear during warm-up and hence prolong oil life.

The main caveat to all this is that most people don't drive their cars that often. If you drive it regularly you could probably use the same oil change interval as modern cars with little negative effect.
