Still on the right track, Otto.
I gave two clues, I cannot give anymore for the moment.

Olds would fit the "double connection" more than this particular Leland. It's none of them yet.

I was thinking the double connection was working for Lincoln and Cadillac...maybe Henry Leland?

No, not any Leland, but you're still close.

...you're right about a point, as others here: Marmon, Stutz, Jordan, Duesenberg, etc, were automobile brands.

And so is Chrysler, but it' not him

Of course!
Double connection, at least since two brands of the group bore his name.
This is why, with "EL Cord", Otto was phonetically the closest, sofar.

The "cowboy picture" is from 1915. Here is another, taken in 1921.
