That is pretty cool, it probably was because of the 60th anniversary of his death. I read that yesterday some car club met at the site of the former Porsche dealership in LA where he bought the car and traveled the route James Dean drove to where the accident was. I'm sure there were a few Porsches in attendance, that would have been a bittersweet thing to do. Maybe that was James Dean driving that car he would have been 84 now.
