epw-ga,
Thanks for giving me the go-ahead on this.
You can search the FAA database for aircraft registries at this link:

FAA REGISTRY
Aircraft Registration Inquiry
I selected the "Make/Model" search option, and in the text boxes labeled:
"Enter Manufacturer and/or Model Name"
I entered ONLY the manufacuter's name, and left the "Model" field
blank. This sort of search will return a large list of all models
made by a specific manufacturer, along with details on the numbers of
registrations in each state, as well as a national total.
Unfortunately, there is no way to easily download or rank the results
by number of registrations. So, in order to create a list, I used the
Ctrl-F search function on each page of results to search for the word
"Total". This would take me quickly to the totals for each model
number, and of any model where the total was 1,500 or more, I copied
that to my master list.
The results of this (somewhat tedious, but fairly efficient) process
was the following 25 aircraft, all manufactured by either Cessna or
Piper:
PIPER PA-28-140
TOTAL - 6130
CESSNA 172M
TOTAL - 4634
PIPER J3C-65
TOTAL - 4512
CESSNA 172N
TOTAL - 4333
PIPER PA-28-180
TOTAL - 4252
