Fairmount Indiana, home of James Dean. The 50th Anniversary,and Remembering James Dean Days is one large event that last a few days,with one of the largest custom rod car shows. It was a great time to be had,with 550 Little Bastards driving around in town. Fairmount is awesome if you are into James Dean, and want to hear Dean stories from real friends of James Dean. The photo below is a 550 spyder relica owned by Vic Bent,and shown driving with a James Dean look alike during the parade.

Hi Bernie, it's good to hear from people that lived these experiences first hand. Last weekend at Fairmount Indiana for the James Dean 50th Memoral,one of the guess speakers was Lew Bracker a friend,and insurance agent of Deans. Dean got Lew into porsche racing inwhich Lew bought a red 356 and raced it. He later bought Dean's white 356 super speedster when Dean bought the 550. We all asked Lew questions about Dean,and I walked away with.... this young guy was crazy about Porsches,and girls, but he was also very shy when it came to meeting some girl he was really attracted to. I guess we all have to think back when we were all in our early twenties,he was just a normal guy with a special talent for expressing himself on film. Hey Bernie, would happen to have photos of you and your bother with the 550 Spyder? Maybe you could post them if you have them. Thanks again for writing in. Nick |
