David: I'm sorry, but everything you just stated as a negative are the main reasons I still drive my Studebakers.

Even with a conversion, these same requirements may force you into an old car, so that you have to forgo modern safety design such as energy absorbing controlled-crush front and rear, air bags, and the like. You might even end up using something so old that it has no collapsable steering column and no seat belts. I'm sure that's not what the lawmakers had in mind, but such things happen sometimes on the outer edges of well-intentioned laws.
