1954 Porsche 550A Spider #130 James Dean Little Bastard in 1:12 scale w/ showcase
This is the 1954 Porsche 550A Spider #130 James Dean Little Bastard in 1:12 scale w/ showcase by Schuco.
The Porsche 550A Spyder "Little Bastard," famously associated with actor James Dean, is one of the most iconic sports cars in automotive history. Car #130, lightweight and mid-engined, was a motorsport marvel of the 1950s, featuring a 1.5L flat-four engine that delivered exceptional balance and agility. What truly sets this car apart isn't just its racing pedigree but its deep cultural impact—James Dean’s tragic death while driving it immortalized the 550 Spyder as a symbol of rebellion and speed. The 550A’s sleek, minimalist design and racing success—especially against more powerful competitors—made it a technical standout of its time. With "Little Bastard" scrawled across its rear, this car blurred the lines between Hollywood legend and motorsport legacy.
This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. Resin models are
exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Each model is created using a variety of production
processes, to achieve this precision. They are produced using a composite material referred to in the
industry as “resin”. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used
for the most authentic replication.
