James Dean's Classic Car Collection

Born in 1931, actor James Dean is remembered for his incredible portrayals of teen angst and social rebellion. His legend is all the more incredible considering he only made three films in just one year, East of Eden, Giant, and Rebel Without a Cause, in 1955. Each of them is on the American Film Institute’s list of 400 Best American Films of All Time. On top of this, he was nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award in two of the films and only lived to see one of them released. Though his fame was tragically short lived, James Dean left an indelible mark on both Hollywood and car enthusiasts the world over. In the span of barely two years, he would rack up serious film accolades alongside a striking record of racing and vehicle purchases, right up there with the likes of Elvis Presley. Never again will a celebrity be so closely connected to classic cars and motorcycles. James Dean's cars are truly the stuff of legend.

Rebel Without a Cause was a gay protest movie and no one even knows it. My best friend Adam did a report in high school on it got an A. My mom who lived through the time and graduated in 1965 couldn't understand why everyone was interested in the little gay guy. But even to this day people will argue with me just for this text it's a fact. I think the really funny part is I'm not homophobic or anything I have lesbian and gay friends🎉.

He was in love with Marlon Brando. But Brando shunned him and it hurt him immensely

[@kingofwolves71]

You guys are full of shit

[@blueberrycobbler]

@@PrecisionPointTennisHe wasn’t in love with him. Stop reading BS on the internet and do your research. His friends and acting colleagues tell a different story, he admired him like most of the actors of that day.

[@blueberrycobbler]

What an odd comment to leave on a video about cars. “Little gay guy” sounds offensive and crude. You don’t have a clue about what you’re talking about and by the context and improper grammar in your comment, you obviously lack intelligence.

[@PrecisionPointTennis]

@@blueberrycobbler I was close friends with Brando’s manager and one of his sons. Yes, it is true. James is a legend, not taking anything away from that ok?

Two corrections: He played Cal Trask in East of Eden, not Carl. His 550 Spyder was a 1955 model, not a '50 model.

[@FusionKidd]

Thanks for catching those typos!

[@evileyes4070]

Number 13 on the car is very unlucky

[@diatonicdoug6525]

550 Spyder was not 1950. It was brand new in 55

[@wassomebody2386]

Small, silver or gray cars blend-into the color of the highway…

[@haroldbirge6881]

🍀You're the man 👀✌️

[@PrecisionPointTennis]

Rest in peace James

The 550 Porsche Spyder today is worth a few million today especially that only a few exist today a very rare Porsche Spyder today very sought after porsche if James dean never died in the 550 Spyder Jimmy's Porsche today would have been worth a considerably lot more than what he paid in 1955

[@MichaelOlivera-pn9sb]

True as all celebrities..vehicles go beyond..there weight in gold..in auctions... bullet Steve McQueen's mustang & even his sand buggy.

[@johnsavage6628]

James Dean would have faded away had he not been killed in s car crash.

[@terrykrall]

[@meltondaniels2825]

Not necessarily, he was a fine actor with charisma, like Elvis hell never go out of style!
