Kenneth Olin "Ken" Maynard was an American motion picture stuntman and actor. He appeared in more than 90 films over 20 years with his white cowboy hat, fancy shirt, and a pair of six-shooters. Here he is with his horse Tarzan beside Ken’s new 1937 Studebaker.

This pic from Hemmings, post 7991, has such a neat collection of cars ! I wonder what the long red one is between the 55 or 56 Ford and the 61 Chevy wagon ? Great photograph !!!!

Looks like a -62 Chevy like the white one between the VW bus & Chevy Suburban, or a -61 but 4-door flat-top & a Del Ray or Biscayne since it has got 4 rear lights.

Right, John; the dark red car is interesting. To the right of it is indeed a 1956 Ford Mainline with the spring special side trim treatment, an abbreviated version of the side trim on the 1956 Customline series.

The dark red car next to that Ford is more difficult to identify because it has a roof-top carrier strapped to it, probably with some luggage or other cargo on the carrier. It's not that long, though; imagine pulling the '61 Chevy wagon forward a little. If the wagon was pulled forward a little, the wagon and the dark red car would be about the same length. Long, but no longer than the wagon. BP

I say its a '61 Chev Impala four door sedan going by the side trim, and the rear window with the overhang.
