Same scene, two cameras

I made both of these images within seconds of each other on a 2015 trip along the National Road in eastern Indiana. I made the image on the left with my Canon PowerShot S95, and the image on the right with a Canon TLb with a 50mm f/1.8 Canon FD S.C. lens mounted and Kodak Gold 200 inside. Doesn’t the right image have the quality of a 1960s or 1970s post card? Yet the left image has a contemporary look, in terms of color rendition and contrast.
