not sure but...

DMV site states....

"Does my vehicle qualify for a smog exemption?
*hybrid
*gasoline powered 1975 year model or older"

I handed that print out to the bailiff, I don't think the judge even looked at 
it herself, she noted the model year on the citation and noted it was a 72, then 
said

"I have a couple of questions, why did he give you a ticket for this in the 
first place" to which I answered "he indicated to me he had not been through the 
training". She then stated " my second question is 'who still owns a Vega? 
wasn't that like a Pinto?' In the interest of the people of California, case 
dismissed (or something like that) I had a Vega a long time ago and I'm still 
trying to forget about it....................."

Peter,

   What was the basis of the dismissal?  You do NOT have historic plates, 
correct?
