This is a good thing. Imagine if we kept model-t's as our primary car instead of evolving.

- howdydoo 5y agoBig difference: the government did not outlaw the Model T. Instead better cars were introduced and people switched voluntarily.

And your Model T doesn't have to meet modern emission standards. On emissions, a quick google gives me this: > most states provide some type of exemption specific to older cars. https://www.hagerty.com/media/archived/emissions-and-your-collector-vehicle/ https://www.hagerty.com/media/archived/emissions-and-your-co... But classic cars are not a big interest of mine so I don't know the details.
