One room is devoted to the actor's cars, racing career and fatal crash. The running replica of Dean's rare Porsche 550 Spyder was built by Brian Hatton, the son of Paul Hatton, a custom painter and Detroit racer whose fast Fords included the SOHC-powered Boss Hoss 1966 Mustang (campaigned with Paul Stefansky). Fred Wagenhals of Action Collectibles drove this roadster and ordered a duplicate from Brian Hatton Enterprises in Antioch, Tenn. (Good Communications photo by Dave Wallace)

The Rebel room contains the brown pants and white T-shirt that Dean wore in the 1955 movie, released two weeks before his death. Also seen onscreen was the white fence at left, which collector David Loehr luckily discovered lying on an L.A. sidewalk, awaiting the trash truck. (Good Communications photo by Dave Wallace)

The October 6, 1955, edition of Dean's hometown weekly carried details of his shocking death. The photo is captioned, 'A Student at UCLA.' (Good Communications photo by Dave Wallace)
