You might be able to blame the SEMA/aftermarket folks for that :
Congress Moves Forward With Vehicle Scrappage Program | Specialty Equipment Market Association
Quote:
“SEMA is working with lawmakers to mitigate some of the legislation’s unintended consequences and its potential damage to the automotive aftermarket,” said Chris Kersting, SEMA’s president and CEO. “These common-sense proposals will ensure that the government is not spending $3,500 or $4,500 on a vehicle that may only be worth a few hundred dollars but may have potential value to vehicle collectors and to promote the benefits of parts recycling.”
A vehicle that is 25 years old or older is rarely driven and does not contribute to the nation’s dependence on foreign oil. A 25-year exclusion would also guarantee that older cars that have an historic or aesthetic value are not inadvertently crushed.

There you have it. Year 2009 - 25 years = 1984 .
