It's worth mentioning that some older cars absolutely live longer 
with nondetergent oil because they don't have oil filters.   They 
depended on a deep sump to allow debris, soot, contaminants, or 
particulates to settle to the bottom so they could be drained when 
oil was changed.

People forget those times...  ;)

And yes, it's been shown that detergent oils in these cars with 
original engines with no filters do indeed tend to cause more wear 
than nondetergent oils.   Lucas makes a high quality nondetergent 
engine oil specifically for vintage cars that don't have filters and 
savvy vintage car owners do indeed use it.
