Production figures can be found at a number of sites including mine:
http://gmcmhregistry.com/GMC_Trivia.html

Model breakdown is only available for the 75-78 model years but the EL II
was
by far the single most produced model. For some reason the Palm Beach
data is missing
(note to webmaster:Fix iT!) PB production was 1,910.

Breakdown by floor plan is not available AFAIK.

They also built more Palm Beach toys than any other models.

Most of the colors on these "Palm Beach" toys do not mach anything close to what GM put on theirs!

The tri-color Kingsley was nice, too. They just improved everything with the
78 colors. They sure made the 74's look plain.

I don't have a Kingsley nor a Palm Beach. The original Coachman stripes
(Birchaven or Royale) were plumb dumb. Thank goodness my PO had good taste
and got rid of them. I had good taste and added red pin stripe to finish
what was started. Now I have Eagles (finally) and it looks even better.

Gene Jackson's has never been in the rain except when actually in use. And
it's been for sale for a couple of years -- I THINK they've still got it.
Probably not a better one anywhere.

Gene bought this coach from the dealer who kept it from 78 until 81. It
is among the coaches
built during the last week of production.
