It takes someone young to be this ignorant. The emissions of modern car engines are truly negligible. And air quality used to be really horrible.
Modern electronic engine controls have slashed emissions so effectively that the exhaust of a modern car running there is actually be cleaner than the ambient air of that time - Yes, a modern car running in LA in that era would actually be cleaning the air!
If you want to clean up the air, go after all those Chinese container ships burning bunker oil that is literally one step up from tar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_fuel_oil https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_fuel_oil
Fixing these filthy ships would make orders of magnitude more difference than eliminating all fossil-fueled cars from the road.
