JDean's 356 Speedster

Hello folks,
I'm trying to make a diorama about James Dean. Can anyone tell me the actual exterior and interior color of his 356 speedster? I have made some research on his bio, but most of the pictures are black and white. This car looks like a white? or maybe beige....
many thanks!

silver outside, red inside

why not make his 550 spyder, the one he crashed.

isnt that what he's talkin about? if not thatn I have no idea what color it is

550 is hard to find unless i make one... :icon16:
According to JD's bio, he has the 356 (speedster) and 550(spyder). I'm planning to built the 356, so i'm still looking for the answers, but, thanks though.

I think the Spyder was white with a black interior...

:p

Sorry! I meant Speedster!

Dean's Porsche 550 Spyder was silver with red seats. It had custom-applied red stripes and numbers.

Here's a 1/24 scale version:

There's never been a plastic kit of the 550. This is CMC's out-of-production diecast model.

cool, that's the one I thought it was.

Yeah, that's the one he died in. Hit a truck I believe!

There seems to be less on his 356. I'd go for a creamy white with black interior!

His 550 was known as Lil' Bastard, I think the accident involved a truck and a 50s Chevy, I've always been told the accident wasn't his fault...

Here is....
