Liability Insurance, or Rather Financial Responsibility are required by Law. Comprehensive and collision insurance is required by the terms of your finance contract with the lender. Failure to comply with the terms of your purchase contract can result in the following 1. Forced place coverage by the lender, which is much more expensive than buying the coverage yourself. The amount will be added to your finance note 2. Vehicle Repossesion by the lender. Failure to maintain your lender required coverage is a defaulting breach of your purchase contract.

How old the car is has nothing to do with it. The only time a car is REQUIRED to have FULL COVERAGE is when a car is being financed. In other words, a bank gives you a loan. Why? Because liability only fixes the other persons car, and if you get in a wreck, the bank will never get their money back from the car. I have owned ~5 cars in my life, financed one, and had full coverage insurance on it. Every other car has been liability only. So again, the age of a car has nothing to do with qualifying for liability insurance. If its being paid for with a bank loan, you need full coverage, if the car is paid off, you can get liability.
