The building codes in most all US jurisdictions require the construction 
of a 1 hour (some are more stringent) fire-rated wall or ceiling between 
an attached garage and any living space.  There are considerable details 
involved, including sealing of all penetrations with fire resistant 
sealer to make an air-tight seal. If properly constructed, I do not 
think the "old car" smells will get into the house through such 
construction.  It would be prudent, however, to consider a ventilation 
system (on a motion timer?) for the garage that would remove fumes that 
might collect and which might blow in when a door is opened to enter the 
space.
