In the 70's the old jail also had the Porsche of movie actor James Dean.
Who owns the lost James Dean Porsche?

The
death of Batmobile creator George Barris has thrown a wrench into the search for another famous car connected to him.
A few months after actor James Dean died in a highway accident in 1955, Barris, known as the "King of the Kustomizers," acquired the remains of the star’s wrecked Porsche 550 Spyder, which Dean had nicknamed "Little Bastard."
Barris sent the Porsche on promotional tours around the country until 1960, when, according to him, it disappeared as it was being delivered from an event in Miami back to his shop in Los Angeles, never to be seen again.
Except I suspect that Barris had a chance to make a quick buck and sold it......to the owners of the Old Jail where it was on display maybe around 70's to 80's.
