I can remember Cilla wearing a black pvc raincoat on an episode of 'surprise Surprise' in the 1980's.
Your challenge, should you accept, is to find that clip.
Too easy Chris!
Enjoy!

(2) Bonus! 'Surprise, Surprise' - 'Singing in the Rain' (mother and her two daughters in plastic/PVC macs).

I tell you what: 1973 may have been years before I was even born, but if I had a time machine I'd leave these crappy times for 1973 in an instant! Britain was still British then, and PVC rainwear, made from shiny, squeaky/crackly and soft PVC (it was long before the anti-phthalate and anti-PVC hysteria of modern times), was commonplace.
In many ways I would have to agree with you, but perhaps we only remember the good bits....

Going back to 1973? I wouldn't need asking twice!
