Hello,

Some expert on American cars of the 50's knows that car is driving James Dean in this picture?

Maybe someone knows the dashboard model and year car

Thanks

1955 Chevrolet maybe: http://www.shopfinder.co.uk/chevrolet/Chevy-Bel-Air-55.html

Thanks, atom.

The car is in the background is more difficult to find.

Yes a 1955 Chevrolet. James Dean died just before the 1956 Chevrolet was released. The background car looks like a 1949 to 1952 Dodge.

Thanks, medic201

One question I have is:

If James Dean died in 1955(September 30), as it is possible that in his last movie (Giant), displayed a 1956 Lincoln?(The scene at the airport(Carrol Baker)).

Some cars of 1956 were published before his death?Do not know which month are released new models.


Thanks

General Motors always tried to release the new models on October 15th. Im not sure about any other companies. Naturaly production delays, assembly problems and marketing strategy could change the date.

The 1956 Lincoln was delivered to dealers on July 25 1955 per Hemmings Motor News.

Thanks, medic201

The date is perhaps somewhat early, but their reasons would have ...

Are you kidding me?

You can see from 100 miles away it is a Chevrolet

Chevrolet 210 to be exact from 1955.

You're so sure of yourself drackula. I have doubts about your ID.

No way the car in the background is newer than '54.

Large back glass, trim running pretty much the length of the side, prominent bumper guards, protruding fenders ... I say it's a '54 Ford of some sort. With a Continental kit and skirts.
