Bring them your tired, your oxygen-poor, your huddled masses of iron yearning to breathe free. And do it in the name of helping everyone breathe more freely.
Crown Central Petroleum Corp. said yesterday that it will buy as many as 100 clunker cars for $700 each as part of an effort to get older cars that have outdated or worn-out emissions-control devices off the road.
The program's rules are that the car must be running, belong to a Maryland resident, have a clear title and Maryland registration, and date from the model year 1976 or earlier. Pickup trucks are also eligible.
