1952 Packard Statistic

That's a very colorful and unique 1952 Packard 200 advertisement under the "recent photos" column and it has an interesting statement in the white oval located in the bottom left hand corner. It says "more than 53% of all Packards built since 1899 are still in use". I'm curious to know how Packard officials would have determined that 53% of the cars they built in the last 53 years were still being used in 1952? That's an impressive percentage for that time and I would love to know how many are still being used today...60 years after that statement was made and 56 years after the last "Packard" built car left the factory.
