50 MERC

This past weekend Lisbon, Maine celebrated its annual Moxie Days again after a couple years hiatus. Moxie is a soft drink developed here in Maine. Sunday morning featured a car show and this is a photo of a 1950 Mercury that was part of that event. The figure is that of James Dean who is a legendary Hollywood actor who made three movies before he was killed in a car accident when he was 24 years old in 1955.

 

He is remembered as a cultural icon of teenage disillusionment and social estrangement, as expressed in the title of his most celebrated film, Rebel Without a Cause (1955), in which he starred as troubled teenager Jim Stark. [Wikipedia]
