There is NOTHING in the US Constitution which could prevent Congress or the States from applying new laws to old cars.
One law in place for example: Oregon requires ALL automobiles driven at night to have operating turn signals. This of course means a 100% original early V8. Oregon's law does allow for cars originally not equipped with turn signals to be driven in daylight.
The only protection we have from malicious (to old cars) laws is us... Congress answers to the people, and listens. Write very nice letters to your senators and representative (both state and federal) telling how important your car is to you, with a photo of the car and your family, and your concerns about over restrictive rules.
