    I cannot name the driver but the guy with the six-shooter is easily identifiable. I know he named his horse after a Studebaker (or vise-versa?). In any event it looks like that Big Six got plenty of use, note the tread (lack of) on that front tire.

    I'm thinking that is Tom Mix.

      Champions owner was Gene Autry I think.

        No, not Tom but I do have a photo of his parents posed with a Studebaker!

          Okay. My next guess would be Tex Ritter.

            Not Tex Ritter. I erred however in the horse's name. Gene Autry's horse was Champion (what I was thinking!) and it is not Gene Autry.

                  Buck Jones.

                    He doesn't look anything like Buck Jones. If it's not Jack Randall then my next choice would be Ken Maynard.

                          If I can get extra credit for knowing Lucky was Hoppy's sidekick, I may have a question about the 39 President.

                            Well, OK, I will give you the reduced rate. But remember the President cost a lot more than a Champion.

                              At a much lesser rate, since it is a much older car with a bald tire, I will ask about the frame on the running board of the 25 Duplex, was that to fasten a tool box?

                              I almost forgot. Photoshopping those annoying lertters off of your photos before I print them takes a lot of time. Perhaps you could post them for me without the lettering and it would save us both some time.
