Whuzzat #16 - Edsel Ford on horseback, 1915

Who is this rough rider? And what is his connection with automobiles?

One point if you can tell us. Another point if, by chance, you can complete the story by telling who is the lady he lassoed (or the opposite - I have no idea myself).

I might add that his connection with cars is a double one.

No. His main business was cars, just cars.

Not Buehrig.

I seem to remember that some guy here at Autopuzzles signed his posts with an Almost everything I type can be a clue.

But then it was only to drive us mad.

No. In most of the last guesses posted, I don't see where there is a double connection involved.

Sorry, Aaron, I forgot.
No him. But you're right about a point, as others here: Marmon, Stutz, Jordan, Duesenberg, etc, were automobile brands.
