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.
