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).

Experts?
I might add that his connection with cars is a double one.
Let's see what the pros make of this.
was he an actor?
No. His main business was cars, just cars.
Is that Ned Jordan?
No, but elegance is a word that applied to him also.
From the USA I presume.....
I've seen people in that kind of attire in other parts of the world, but not very often...
Yes.
EL Cord?
I hear you getting closer.
Harry C. Stutz ?
I'll throw in Howard Marmon just in case it isn't Stutz... :)
Gordon Buehrig?
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.
Fred Duesenberg?
No any of the Duesenberg Bros.
Charles Yale Knight, inventor of the the "Silent Knight" Sleeve Valve Engine?
No. In most of the last guesses posted, I don't see where there is a double connection involved.
James Ward Packard?
Not him either.

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

A young George N. Pierce?
. . so perhaps if he is, she is Miriam Arrow. ;D
Still on the right track, Otto.
I gave two clues, I cannot give anymore for the moment.
Wilfred Leland?
Ransom Olds?
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.
Walter P Chrysler worked at Buick before moving on to bigger things...

And so is Chrysler, but it' not him
Louis Chevrolet?
Where is his mustache? No, not him.
The circle narrows...
David Dunbar Buick?
...and narrows
Henry Ford?
If it is him, he did it again ;)
Henry?
Edsel?
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.
