This article mentions a Boeing 767 built in 1991:

Your next flight may be on a very old airplane and you probably won’t know

in 1984, I learned to fly in a 1971 Cessna 150. It was the newest airplane I would ever own. Every airplane I have owned since was built before that 150. I would still take my 1967 T-210 over any piston single built today.

 
In 1969, my first flight lesson was in a 1942 Piper J-3 Cub, which at 27 years since manufacture I (who was 18) thought was ancient. Now at age 74 I fly a 47-year-old 1979 Grumman Tiger and think nothing of it. Guess it's all perspective.
