63. Hang on. Most "historic" cars are pretty clean.
That is because the owners generally maintain them in tip-top condition. Also many restoration vehicles have emissions equipment retrofitted where feasible and many also have late-model engines installed.

Furthermore they aren't driven much, so their exhaust output is negligible.

They are excluded from smog inspections because making them pass the same tests as the new computer-controlled engines is simply not technically possible.
