I knew Nellie Belle was part of the Roy Rogers show but could not remember who drove it. I thought he had a side kick that drove it. Good thing I got dementia pills today or I would forget every thing.

Here's from Nellie Belle's website:
The Roy Rogers Show, broadcast on television between 1951 and 1957, developed out of the series of B-movies made in the 1930's and 40's starring the "King of the Cowboys". It featured a 1946 Willys CJ-2A Jeep named Nellybelle, which had some unusual bodywork. It was in fact owned by Roy, but was driven in the show by his comic sidekick, Pat Brady. The name apparently developed out of Pat riding an ornery mule in the earlier movies, and addressing it with phrases like "Whoa, Nelly!"

I'm so old I remember opening a fire hydrant and running through the water to cool off on a hot summer day.
