Dean was driving his Porsche 550 Spyder. That’s a Speedster I think.

Yes, it is a Porsche Speedster, and yes, it was James Dean who was killed in one, when a 1950 Ford Tudor pulled out in front of him and Dean could not maneuver or stop in time. (no safety-equipment in those days, and brakes/steering/suspension were not to modern standards). The 550 Speedster was a limited-production racing version of the 356. The other driver (Donald Turnupseed) was not severely injured.

You got it buddy.
I thought that Alfa Romeo would be a hard one but you all are good at this!

Just a T-top or hard top, nothing fancy.

Can't believe these prices, insanity.

That's a good one, Bit....in general, it looks like a somewhat redone 1907 Rolls-Royce, but the radiator isn't the right shape, so it probably rules that out.

Also, the World’s first flying car. Marvellous, made a very unique sound.

Not a golf cart... and not a Moke! A guy I follow on Twitter just posted a picture of him on vacation driving one of these and I had to read through the comments to find out what it was. Had never seen anything like it.
