James Dean at the Santa Barbara Road Races, May 1955. Along with his Porsche 356 Speedster (which he'd soon replace with the 550 Spyder), he's pictured checking out Josie von Neumann's 1954 Ferrari 500 Mondial and John Porter's Porsche Spyder. Jimmy had recently begun racing his Speedster- this was his third big race after Palm Springs and Bakersfield. A blown piston ended his day early. 📷: Frank Worth #jamesdean #porsche #ferrari #classiccars #porschespeedster #porschespyder
