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!!
