I think this US Federal 25-year rule has a lot to do with the pressure from Japanese government. Japan's tax code financially punishes you for owning an aged car, so lots of used cars in Japan needs to be exported. If they flood the US market, it could give Japanese automakers a hard time selling new ones.

These Japanese automakers have been facing intense competition from their older models used cars in UK and Australia for quite a while. Their government has tried to push UK and Australian governments to limit the importation of JDM cars as well.

To be honest, I doubt it will happen myself. It's not my petition btw. Just found it somewhere else. Doesn't hurt to try.

72,688 to go!

Even if this goes nowhere, getting to 100,000 will make someone notice.
