Is a 50 year old model tht is still in production exempt? Perhaps there are no such models though?

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "exempt", but a 50-year-old gun is C&R regardless of whether or not it's still in production.
There are quite a few guns that fit this description. A few notable examples are the Colt Single Action Army (1873), Colt Model 1911 (1911, duh), S&W .38 Military & Police aka Model 10 (1899), S&W Chief's Special aka Model 36 (1955), S&W .44 Hand Ejector (1908), the FN Hi-Power (1935), and Marlin Model 1891 aka 39A (1891). Most of these have undergone various design changes over the years but still remain similar to the initial design and are still made by the same manufacturer.
