Why did you make THAT assumption ?
On what basis ?
The two plants that you are drawing attention to are same manufacturing era as the Pinto, and designed probably 10 years before that.
My analogy was not necessarily about the age of plants and vehicles, but rather the compliance of plants and vehicles of any age to the most recent EPA regulations.
If the EPA were to force the removal from service all vehicles that did not meet the most recent standards, that would probably mean most all vehicles manufactured in the '80s and '90s, and every vehicle made prior to 1980.
