Wow.
I find it interesting that importing used cars from elsewhere (lets say a Skyline in from Japan) requires so much paperwork and conversions, yet its perfectly okay for these restored Model T's & other cars from the 20s-1950s to be allowed on todays roads.

Very hypocritical

BTW that's the American way. We're hypocrites. Even our Presidents

50 years is a lot of time to make advancements in technology. I'm not surprised at all how much better cars are today than they were in 1959....
