THE 1955 PORSCHE 550 SPIDER

The Porsche 550 was created by Ferry Porsche in the 1950's and was inspired by the Porsche 365. Though the car does not really make cut as a fast car today but it was a hit during its time. The spider was initially created for racing and ran at 137 mph (220 km/h), with a price of $3, 750, 000.
The aluminum made car was also made famous by a strikingly handsome American actor, James Byron Dean, who's language coach named his spider "Little Bastard" Sadly, James was later killed in a car crash by Little Bastard.



 Just to also include the ladies on this.....
