EMP wouldn’t have been a big problem in 1961.
Not if you don’t mind living without electricity. True about laptops and ipods, an EMP would still have fried the electronics in cars and trucks.

Yeah, I don’t know about that... The only “electronics” in vehicles back then were points, condensers, and coils. I am not even sure that these can be damaged by an EMP, and if they were, they are easily replaceable.
Remember this was 1961...
Not in 1961. The world was not as transistorized as it is now. Most vehicles would have worked. Most electric systems could have been repaired. Not like today, where everything is run by computers.
