If I remember correctly (keeping in mind it's been a very long time since I knew such things) I believe in the Fallout universe the American government goes all out with propaganda promoting Americana after ww2 in an attempt to keep (or return too later maybe?) that type of culture. In one of the games you can find records at the Pentagon about trying to re-enforce that era of American culture and exceptionalism.
Also the Transistor is never invented (Or at least invented very late). Those are the two big things that explain why it's the future but with 50s-60s aesthetic and crazy nuclear-powered everything vacuum tube technology
