That's the thing about a '69 VW beetle, or a '32 Ford, or any other "classic" car. The cops will mostly leave you alone regardless of the law because you don't fit the profile of people they want to apply threat of state violence to. Now, if you were driving something from the 90s the cops would be all over you because you'd get profiled as exactly the sort of white trash that the police's stakeholders want to see lots of jackboot applied to. That said, even in the "classic" car you're accepting the risk that any given cop can choose to screw you on a whim and the more you expose yourself to such risks the odds of getting unlucky just keep going up.
