Let's see..if a random selection is taken (the 20+ish observed serviving
examples), of a known population (1,163 built) , an extrapolated conclusion
or projection may be made from those observations.

Ever heard of voter polling?

Doesn't mean that "the conclusion" is necessarily true, just that it be reasonably
probable and/or predictable, and presumes that the sampling be unbiased and
representative of the population surveyed (every surviving car is credited,
and presumes that there isn't any unusual causation for the surviving of
any particular color-combination-car).
