Boy did I just do good. found an episode to watch which starts with the
door opening and the gun fastened to the door. Swear it is a 55 Chrysler
door but may be 56. Not sure of the upholstery. didn't watch past the
intro but apparently my memory isn't totally shot--just mostly.
now back to work trying to find box of 55 hood ornaments which I have
stashed somewhere.

Hi Terry,
As you will read from my previous post I am thinking the same. The reason
you can't find a '55 Chrysler wagon is I'm reasonably sure they only used
'57 & '58 vehicles which was when the series was shot. Where did you find
the shows to watch??

How about sheriff of Cochise?
Show started with him driving up in Mopar wagon and opening door to show
cutoff rifle mounted on door?
One of my 55 Chrysler Wagons was refuted to have been used in the series
but doubt it. have never found video of the early series with 55 or 6
wagon I believe. Can find few of later with 57 or 8 version.

Possibly I missed something here, but Kevin Joseph Aloysius (Chuck)
Connors who did star in the Rifleman series had no cars. This series
was based just after the Civil War and the closest thing Lucas McCain,
Connors' character came to a vehicle would have been a wagon pulled by a
couple of horses. Side note: The name "Chuck" came from his baseball
days when his co-players would say, "Hey chuck one over here".
I suspect the series you are referring to is "Sky King" who stared Kirby
Grant. This was set in the Arizona area in the 1950's and not only did
Grant drive Chrysler wagons he also flew his own aircraft named the
"Songbird".
I own a 1955 Chrysler New Yorker Deluxe Town & Country that has some
"Hollywood" history and everyone always relates the wagon to Sky King.
I can't prove anything, but that series was shot out of the Tucson area
and our wagon traces back to Studio City or Hollywood. We think the
link to our wagon is Cecil B. DeMille the movie director who did such
epics as The Ten Commandments.

And don't forget that wonderful Chrysler wagon ('55 or '56?) that Chuck
Conners the "Rifleman" used in the TV series!!
