These are the original press release photos for the new 1977 Kingsley model. Press release photos were always in black and white back in the day.
Kingsley was available in 1977 and 78 only, although it is mentioned in GMC internal presentation Operation Conquest 1974 as one of the possible future models.
In 1977 Kingsley was a $270 extra cost option (along with Palm Beach).
In 1977 production was pretty evenly split between Eleganza II (562), Palm Beach (543), and Kingsley (540).
Palm Beach gets all the love these days, but I am partial to Kingsley
