The reason a 35 year old car can pass emissions is that they have 
different testing parameters than a new car.

Do you really think they would make a 35 year old car pass by todays 
standards? If this was true 99.9% of the 35 year old cars would fail 
unless they had modern day emissions on them.

The older your car is the more pollutants it will pass out the tail 
pipe.

I dont think any of our Deloreans could pass on todays emission 
standards.
