James Dean was an American actor. He is remembered as a cultural icon of teenage disillusionment and social estrangement, as expressed in the title of his most celebrated film, Rebel Without a Cause, in which he starred as troubled teenager Jim Stark. He was also a ‘car guy’. He was killed when his Porsche 550 Spyder, which he had named the ‘Little Bastard’ was T-boned by a much larger Ford Tudor sedan in an intersection.
Around 2009 a group built a commemorative Porsche 356 as a tribute to Dean. This HO slot car from Bauer Modelautobahnnen is that tribute car. Produced in exacting detail as all Bauer cars are this car even has a James Dean figure behind the wheel. This is NJH-003 the third special edition car from Bauer made especially for NJ Nostalgia Hobby. Production was limited to 50 cars for NJ Nostalgia Hobby and I suspect they will sell out fast.
