Porsche 550 Spyder
CA

This happened in 1955. A 24 year old hollywood star James Dean was driving on Route 366 in California on his way to a racing event when he collided with a 1950 Ford Tudor, driven by Navy veteran Donald Turnupseed. The cultural icon suffered a broken neck and died shortly after being rushed to hospital. Both Turnupseed and Dean's mechanic Rolf Wutherich were unscathed in the horrific accident. These pictures of his mangled 550 spyder are set to be auctioned for $16,000
