Star Wars also touched on this concept. The Millenium Falcon and Luke's home all showed signs of ware. I'm trying to think of any main stream Science Fiction movies pre-Star Wars that depicted used/worn out items from the future. 2001 depicted a world where everything looked brand new, Planet of the Apes had lot's of low-tech stuff but it all looked new as best as I can remember.

A Clockwork Orange depicted a run-down future. Not 2001, but Kubrick nonetheless.

Not quite what I'm going for here. There are plenty of apocalypse type scenarios. I'm talking about future stuff, space ships, hover cars, etc.. that are depicted as old, warn out, used. Where the future has a past that's still in our future.
