Cars that are 30 years old don't connect to the Internet in general or cellular networks specifically (for core functionality). Desire as they might, Nokia couldn't meaningfully support a 3360 today. There's no AMPS or IS-136 networks for the phone to connect to.
Dell doesn't support thirty year old OptiPlex PCs, Intel doesn't support thirty year old CPUs. These don't have any serial pairings, they're just old and long out of production.
Ford isn't going to support a thirty year old Mustang either. Part manufacturers might still make compatible parts but that's more about sub-components being shared among many years of product models. You could find a power supply for an old OptiPlex because it uses an ATX connector on the motherboard. You might find a NOS battery for a 3360 but that's only because a battery conformed to a spec shared among many models.
Out of support smartphones will see their certificate roots expire making using the Internet not practical. This is true of Android and iOS. I don't know why ten years of active support for a very complicated device somehow isn't good enough.
