California may cancel smog exemption from pre-1976 cars

In California, a state with the strictest car emissions regulations in the U.S., cars produced before 1976 do not need to undergo smog testing. California State Senator Dean Florez has proposed legislation that would remove that exemption for cars registered in the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District. How would this effect pre-1976 automobiles and trucks? It would mean that as of January 1, 2009, any car registered in a rather large portion of central California -- from the 1974 Camaro to the 1932 Ford Coupe-- would need to pass every current and future smog test. If it didn't, it couldn't be driven. Many believe that this move has come about because state authorities have missed their air quality goals and are now looking at targeting a tiny fraction of cars. What classic car owners fear is that if the legislation becomes law in the San Joaquin Valley, then it's only a matter of time before it gets adopted everywhere.
