It shouldn't be too hard to find out who was the Division Commander when Patton was a Lt. Gen.

A little cross-referencing research and Bob's your uncle.

I was thinking it was him. But wasn't sure. He's in the Division book I have of course and I've heard his name several times. I heard he was pretty good. The 2nd ID SEEMED to have a good rep for a combat division and saw a very fair share of action. Very fair. More than fair. Second to none. hehehehe

Maybe just the seat?

A very late war Ford GPW with vacuum wipers. Odd though, no black out drive light and doesn't look to be the three holes in the top of the fender for it either.
