10% of each model year survives after the first 50 years. It reduces 1% for every decade that passes after the first 50.

If I understand your hypothesis, you're saying that of cars 100 years old, 5% remain. Seems unrealistic, it's probably more like 1/10 of 1% or even less, given the scrap drives in two World Wars. What was the source for that mathematic method of survivor estimate?
