1957 Porsche Spyder 550 James Dean replicaThe car only has 1,668 milesMint condition, very cleanComes with car cover I have the right to end auction early for local saleCall (563)349-0070 with questions, Thanks Inspired by the Porsche 356 which was created by Ferry Porsche, and some spyder prototypes built and raced by Walter Glöckler starting in 1951, the factory decided to build a car designed for use in auto racing. The model Porsche 550 Spyder was introduced at the 1953 Paris Auto Show. The 550 was very low to the ground, in order to be efficient for racing. In fact, former German Formula One racer Hans Herrmann drove it under closed railroad crossing gates during the 1954 Mille Miglia.
