The New Media Journal | 5 Million Gas Guzzlers Excluded from 'Clunkers': "Lobbyists for antique auto parts suppliers and car collectors persuaded the government to shut out cars built before 1984, which prevented consumers nationwide who own older cars and trucks from cashing in on the $3 billion federal program even though many don't consider their jalopies to be collectors' items.
The restrictions were pushed by lobbyists for the Specialty Equipment Market Association, a Diamond Bar, Calif., group that represents companies that sell parts and services to classic and antique car collectors. The group, as well as classic car enthusiasts, have opposed cash for clunkers because they don't want older vehicles to be destroyed."
