State of California The seller is required to provide the buyer with a valid smog inspection certification at the time of the sale or transfer. Smog certifications are good for 90 days from the date of issuance. The inspection is not required on a transfer if a biennial smog certification was submitted to DMV within 90 days prior to the vehicle transfer date (a vehicle inspection report may be required for proof of certification). Starting January 1, 2005, smog certifications will not be required for transfers that occur for any motor vehicle that is four or less model years old. A smog transfer fee will be collected from the new owner.
Can your Park Avenue 1992 drive in California or do these cars exhaust to much smog?
You can drive it there, but you may not be able to license it there. You'll need to check regulations regarding the California emissions. Usually there are provisions for people to bring their vehicles from other states, but your car will need to pass emissions tests. My P.O.S. 92 Park Ave passed smog with no problem and I had no issue getting it registered in California.

No, after the first 3 years of a car it needs to be smogged to register the car. I think the only exception to this is hybrid models. I have a hybrid that is 6 years old and never had been required to have a smog done.
