I have looked a little more closely at the data. I decided to see what happens if I examine the data in three chunks:
1st chunk: series prior to the launch of the 120
2nd chunk: remaining pre-war series
3rd chunk: post-war
I based this division on the following:
a) production volume, and the audience of customers, changed dramatically after the introduction of the 120. The change in volume and affordability as both used and new vehicles, I hypothesize, will effect the proportion of production that has ended up as collector cars.
b) The post war market was significantly different from the pre-war market in both volume and consumer tastes
c) post-war cars may have a higher chance at surviving due to age and the war-time scrap efforts.
Observe the plots below.
