Pat Brady and Nellybelle the Jeep were staples of the Roy Rogers TV show which ran from 1951 to 1957. Set in the 1950's it represented 'new' Western adventures vs. the Old West, thus we have a Jeep and all the modern conveniences of early '50s homes (as one would see as they watched the show). I had always been a big Roy Rogers fan as a kid and this show was among my favorites. However, after becoming a toy collector, I found myself being welll, a bit lame when it came to collecting Roy Rogers. After going about it kind of half-heartedly, it took years to finally latch on to this Jeep and figure in decent shape (although it does have one broken axle holder). At some point I'll have to pull all of my RR toys together in one box and start photographing them, but for now let's enjoy Nellybelle and Pat! Be Blessed and Relish Life! Ed
