Vehicles are emissions-tested to see if they comply with the emission regs that were in place when the vehicle was manufactured. So, even though my '68 Chevy pickup "passes emissions," it's still quite a polluter, since about the only "emissions requirements" in 1968 were that the thing ran and wasn't blowing black smoke.
So I think the goal of these programs is to get the older vehicles off the road, since while they're legal, they still pollute.
Are there enough pre-73 vehicles out there that are junkers (nobody is going to turn in their restored 1970 Hemi 'Cuda) to make this worthwhile?
We don't have emissions testing here, but even then most of those older ones have either been restored or retired.
