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!

550 is hard to find unless i make one...
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.
imagine downloaded from www.jamesdean.com

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



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.

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...
