Eric -
While Tom did plot figures for every year, it looks like the x-axis only labels every other year - perhaps because of space limitations. Is that what you're talking about?
Maybe Tom could use a two-digit label for the years - 99 (as in 1899) and 00 to 58 - with a slightly smaller point size for the x-axis labels. Else, orient the x-axis label text vertically.
Meanwhile, it's interesting that V8 Packards appear to be more popular than any other year.
Of course, we have to be mindful that, even with Mal's vigilance, the owner registry may be a bit skewed, as it is roooted in membership. IMHO, membership and participation tends to follow the availability of materials. Yet, it seems like we've picked up more members with prewar interests, lately, as the archive has collected more material that is relevant to their needs. Things tend to snowball from there.
