Also, approx how many units were built in a single work day?

Line rate back then was typically 60 - 70 jobs per hour off the end of the final line.

So, for an 8 hour day that would be 480 cars per shift. Multiply that by the number of production shifts (1, 2 or 3) and that would be the daily rate, barring any overtime.

Also - be advised that the line started slower during the first few days or weeks of a new model and then ramped up to achieve full line rate.
