An illustrated history of Porsches, from the 1940s to the present day, with notes on car construction, blueprints, and technical details.
The great success that Porsche enjoyed with its first 550 Spyders spurred its small but effective racing cadre to a more ambitious design with its 1956 Type 550A. It's stiffer space frame was inside the 550A that Umberto Maglioli drove single-handed to win the 1956 Targa Florio -- Porsches greatest victory yet. Experiments in 56 with an even smaller racer, the Type 645, ended with a disastrous crash. Not for nothing was it nicknamed "Mickey Mouse". In 1957 Porsche created the immortal RSK, a race and hillclimb winner. The RS60 arrives in 1960 to meet new rules, winning Sebring outright. It evolved into the RS61 and then the Type 718, using the Grand Prix eight-cylinder engine. Races and hillclimbs throughout the world were mastered by these agile silver cars through 1964, depicted in magnificent images from the Ludvigsen Library.
James Dean is famous for his acting perfomances. Less well known is that James Dean had a lifelong passion for speed and high-performance machines. Dozens of photos combine with interviews with people who really knew Dean and his motorsports dreams to reveal an unseen side of this American icon.
On September 30, 1955, 24-year-old James Dean became immortal. While his young life ended in a car crash, James Dean passed into the realm of American folklore, where his memory remains today. What exactly happened on that fateful day 60 years ago? What events led to the tragic accident that cost Dean his life? What became of the people and vehicles involved in that unguarded moment at Cholame? Is there any truth to the idea of a "curse" associated with Dean and his Porsche Spyder? And what do the major landmarks of the last few months of Dean's life look like today? Foremost James Dean researcher and expert Lee Raskin answers these questions and more in James Dean: On the Road to Salinas. He paints a vivid picture of Dean's life during that last summer, as he began to race his Porsche Speedster, filmed his third leading role in the movie Giant, and acquired the infamous 550 Spyder that he dubbed, "Little Bastard." Raskin provides a detailed timeline of the rising movie star's last 12 hours, while debunking numerous "factoids" that continue to circulate prominently in accounts of Dean's life and fatal crash. James Dean: On the Road to Salinas is the definitive account of the last months of James Dean's life. It is a must-read for any James Dean fan, Porschephile, or enthusiast of American popular culture of the 20th century.
