....just that new cars and anything used newer than 25 years old must meet US emissions and safety standards....

In California the law is that any car model year 1976 or later must have its original emissions systems intact and the car must have biennial smog tests performed so it can be registered for road use. This is true even if the car is registered with a historical plate.
