I'll answer that, because I contemplated it.
They never had stereo radios either, but people add those.
Old cars smell. They just do. My clothes smell like gas, my hair smells like gas, and my truck doesn't run rich. It's simply because they're inefficient and a lot of unburned fuel comes out at idle.
I don't care about the emissions on a "pleasure" vehicle like this, it's not about that. Just the smell.
You may not care. But some wives and girlfriends do.
My concern was that they're -so- much worse than modern engines (primarily the combustion chamber and cam) that there would be too much extra fuel to burn.
My '75 Monte Carlo had cats and a carb, so they did build them that way. And it wasn't a computer-controlled Q-jet either, just your basic 2bbl.
