Had a source in Dearborn look into this for me and he was able to come up with some solid production numbers. Most notably complete numbers for the Gen III cars with a total of 21,537 being built. On the Gen I-II side only the 1991 model year seems to be different compared with the current known numbers. Also notice the take rate compared to the total Taurus line.

Thanks Ryan, I added the totals rows and one more column, what % of the Gen 3 SHOs were produced by year.
