Don't take more from it than is possible.
I wasn't drawing any sort of conclusion from the numbers. In fact, if I was to look at them, what you've said is pretty much my thoughts on them. Most of these cars were owned back when GM held the largest portion of the market.... by a wide margin. With Ford and Dodge pretty much in the positions they are in the list. Almost nobody had anything else. They fall in the order they do because that represents their respective market shares during that time period.
