These are the only body parts known to exist of Dean's aluminum Spyder, which mysteriously disappeared during a nationwide tour designed to discourage young people from speeding. (Good Communications photos by Dave Wallace)

Sandy Roth, a famous Hollywood photographer, had followed Dean from L.A. on Sept. 30, 1955, intending to shoot both the journey and the sports-car race in Salinas. He was one of the first to the accident scene, but declined to photograph the dead driver in his Porsche. Here, the ambulance crew prepares to lift passenger Rolf Wutherich, lying beside the wrecked Spyder. In the foreground is Donald Turnupseed, the student whose 1950 Ford turned left in front of Dean.

Whether you blast past the 1000 exhibits in an hour or spend half a day, this is the best entertainment value you're likely to find in the Hoosier state. For the price of a race-track beer ($5, or $4 for seniors and students), you'll take a nostalgic trip through the histories of America's heartland and its favorite son. Furthermore, the gallery is one Indiana attraction that is sure to impress the lady in your life -- as evidenced by the large stack of James Dean scrapbooks that female fans lovingly assembled in the Fifties.
