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.
Well, since you mention it, the Constitution doesn't mention cars at all, so I suppose they could be eliminated at any time. Perhaps I should write to Congress so they don't ban cars?

My point is that you need to stay on topic and know what you're fighting against, and not just some rumor.
