Yes, same age here and I clearly remember "regular" (leaded) gas. I think sale of it was banned around '91. Prior to that the last vehicles made to run off leaded gasoline were in the 1970's but they allowed the gas to still be sold for awhile afterwards. You can actually run a car designed to take leaded gas off of unleaded, it just isn't optimal in terms of performance and wear. Similar to how a car that is supposed to take 93 octane can run off of 87 but won't be as effective or efficient. They also sold lead additive in bottles for years after it was banned at the pump, but that's been gone for awhile now.

Gasoline hasn't had lead in it in over 30 years, which begs the question, when will we stop calling it "unleaded" and just call it gasoline. They don't call Coca Cola "cocaine-free" or glow in the dark items "radium free". Must be an automotive thing, as still many tires say "tubeless" even though passenger vehicles have not used tires with tubes in quite some time.
