Here in the state of Oregon any car made BEFORE 1975 is exempt and does
not have to go through the emissions testing stations. It used to be that
any car 20 years old or older didn't have to be tested but well... we all
know how well 1975/6/7 cars that have never had their engines rebuilt are
running these days.
