James Dean, to this day, is recognized as being one of the most iconic cool guys in history. James Dean owned several Porsche's, but his everyday driver was his 1955 Porsche 356 Super Speeder, and in the following pictures, we see James Dean posing with his equally iconic Porsche 356 convertible.
No Rear View Mirrors
Notice in all of the photos of James Dean's Porsche 356, there are no rear view mirrors, which explains why in the next two photos, why he had to look backwards when driving in reverse.
What is my absolute favorite car of all-time? What do I think is the best car EVER made? The Lexus LS 460, so I am very excited to show the first official photos of the all-new Lexus LS-f 460 model, which will be formally launch next Monday, July 30th in San Francisco. Very cool looking!!!! It's about time Lexus steps up its design and performance game!!!

Welcome To Jake's Car World
My name is Jake Ehrlich and I am the editor and publisher of Jake's Car World.
I have an interesting story to share with you. I became fascinated with cars when I was little kid playing with my Hot Wheels. When I was in the third grade, I started drawing Speed Racer's Mach 5 with a pencil and paper. Every time, I would daw the Mach 5, I would try to improve the lines.
When I was fourteen, I fell in love with the 1969 Chevy Camaro, and at the same time, I would go to school everyday, and in class I would sit and draw cars all day long.
When I was 17 I wanted to become an automotive designer, and I was talented at designing cars, but I just could not imaging going to work for an American car company as a designer. This was in the mid 1980s, when American cars were at their all-time worst. This was the generation of cars cars that had evolved from the Gremlin, to the Pinto, into the Chrysler Reliant-K.
I remember thinking at the time, that the only option would have been to learn German, and move to Germany, and I did not want to do so. So I went into clothing design. Years later, I started designing computer hardware, and software, which I still do with my company BulletTrain.
I also blog like crazy, so it made sense to begin Jake's Car World, which I sincerely hope you enjoy.
