    Couldn't they find a young German actor to play Rolf Wütherich? The man was only 27 years old when the crash happened. His life turned for the (much) worse after the crash and he died in a car accident in 1981 aged 53 when he lost of control of his Honda Civic and crashed into the wall of a residence.

    Dean was scheduled to do a 'three picture deal', which included , "Somebody up there likes me" ;
    "The Left-Handed Gun" & a third film! Because of Dean's untimely death, newcomer Paul Newman
    filled in, essentially bolstering his career! Marlon Brando's career was already well underway, but
    Dean's dying eliminated his potential competition for similar roles! I'm 76 & remember that day! R.I.P.! James!

There's a good reason the pics of the car after the accident are different (start with the steering wheel), there's a good reason James Dean wasn't yet dead on the scene yet the ambulance men on the scene are just casual as, yet if that's Rolf W on the stretcher what's happening to a struggling Jimmy while he's casually loaded and carried?, there's a good reason witnesses testified in court to Wutherich being the driver, etc etc. The vid called A Witness to the James Dean crash is a good starting point.

    James Dean had just past another car before the accident and had to quickly swerve back into his own lane to avoid hitting the car in front of the car he eventually hit. He did this at a speed around 60 - 70 mph. He was told earlier on the road trip by someone that his car was hard to see because of its color and being built low to the ground. Also, the guy driving the ford had just past two cars coming around the bend and had a car in front of him that probably blocked his line of sight. The car in front of the ford actually drove off the road when he saw James Dean's car approaching him.

    Originally james dean had ordered a Lotus X from the Lotus car company after seeing the Lotus VIII in all the racing magazines of the time, he ordered it without an engine and planned to fit an Offenhauser to it, Colin Chapman of Lotus decided that the car would have to be fitted with drum brakes instead of disks since at the time the brits didnt want for americans getting hold of disk brakes (which were fairly new at the time). The car ended up being delayed and Dean went and bought the 550 as a car to drive until his new Lotus was ready, he didnt think much of the 550 prior to crashing it. The Lotus was eventually finished and exists today however dean never had a chance to sit in it.

    Perhaps the straw that broke the camel's back was an ideosynchronicity of the Furman 547 flat four. They have a sort of roller Cam? Kind of early 50's motorcycle technology and I think it would have to be maintained at a high rev to not stall out?

      How can you say, “From the looks of it...” when you are looking at a Hollywood Movie scene, as though that has any bearing whatsoever on what actually happened? A lot of painstaking research and thorough forensic investigation has gone into the circumstances of the accident, and it’s clear - for example - that both drivers were speeding recklessly.
