Default Longevity of foam for wings

I still fly Ed Kecks MACO Jet Star (60 powered 1960/1970 styled pattern plane) which I bought in 1973. It has a foam wing with a card board cover and the card board is covered with the original Solar Film. The plane last flew in 2001 however the foam is as good as the day I bought it. Anyone remember MACO models? I also had the 40 powered VEGA but let it get away from me and I got disoriented and splattered it on pile of concrete blocks.
