Hey Indy Road Rockets...

[Dads56]

Lance & I finally have his '29 Truck on the road and was wondering if you guys were gonna be hangin' out anywhere soon or going to any cruise ins or car shows. He wants to show it to you fellas. He also is looking for a little guidance on mufflers. After a few hassles he's finally realized open pipes might not be worth the hassles.

Thanks..

James Dean Gallery Relocating to New Facility
Fairmount, Ind - The Grand Opening of the new James Dean Gallery, located on Interstate 69 near Gas City, Indiana, will take place on May 15, 2004 at 11:00 am. The Opening Ceremony will include guest speakers and entertainment followed by free admission to the Gallery's extensive museum exhibit. There will also be live Rockabilly music and a Hot Rod Car Show.


The James Dean Gallery first opened in 1988 in Dean's hometown of Fairmount, Indiana, and has become the most popular tourist attraction in Grant County. After fifteen successful years in its original location, the exhibit will be moving to a new facility eight miles north of Fairmount.


Housing the world's largest James Dean exhibit, the Gallery will feature a six-room interpretive display that will chronicle Dean's life growing up in rural Indiana, his rapid rise to stardom on the big screen, his untimely and tragic death and his subsequent rise in becoming an American icon. The Gallery will also feature a thirty-five seat theater that will showcase rare James Dean television appearances and early screen tests. A research library will be available that will house numerous books, articles, photos and archival files containing historical documents concerning the life and career of the famous actor.


The new state-of-the-art building incorporates Art Deco design elements from the 1930's Golden Age of Hollywood. Boasting over 7,000 square feet, the facility will house the collection of Dean archivist and researcher David Loehr, known appropriately as the "Dean of Deanabilia." "The growth of the collection and the increase in Dean's popularity in recent years required that we relocate to a larger, more accessible location, which will ensure the long-term preservation of the artifacts for the education and enjoyment of generations to come," says Loehr.
