Surely there was only one done like this.

And I think someone (maybe the company) made only one of these also.

I think there actually IS one of the 3 passenger ones out there according to something I saw a while back. Can't now recall just where I saw it. My have not been actually built by Chrysler.

Leo Carrilo was the Cisco Kid's side kick, Poncho. He also had a Cadillac rag with horns on it too, if I remember right.

Trivia for

"The Cisco Kid" (1950)

First television series to be shot in color

Diablo was The Cisco Kid's horse. Loco was Pancho's horse.

In the 1953 season star Duncan Renaldo was injured in a rock fall and hospitalized, resulting in his missing nine episodes. To cover for Renaldo's absence on the show, the Cisco Kid was shown wearing masks, disguised as a ghost and in other situations where a double could be used for him and footage of him that had been previously shot but not used was also used. He recorded his lines from his hospital bed.

And, finally,...

The park was named after Leo Carrillo (1880-1961), actor, preservationist and conservationist, served on the California Beach and Parks commission for eighteen years, and was instrumental in the state's acquisition of the Hearst property at San Simeon. He was related by blood and marriage to a long line of distinguished original Californians. Leo's greatest fame came from his portrayal of Pancho, the sidekick to Duncan Renaldo's Cisco Kid, an early 1950's TV series. Leo on the left.
