A 1946 model. What's with the "pseudo-armor" kit?! (this Jeep sold for $116,000 at auction a few years ago)

Roy's sidekick, Pat Brady drove Nellybelle in those old Roy Rogers western serials back in the 50's. Brady was also a ETO vet, but I don't know what outfit he served with.

A source I found on the internet (imdb.com) lists him as a tank crewman in the 4th Armored Division. Find a Grave has a picture of his tombstone listing Pat as a Tech 4, US Army.
