Definitely worth the stop if traveling down Rt. 46. The plaque is posted behind the large sign of Dean's head.

The shop is full of fudge, nuts, and a real old-school diner wannabe restaurant filled with speculative farmers. Great selection of pricey snacks and '50s posters and tin signs.

Gas station with gas to buy. Expensive gas at that.

Stopped by there after seeing various other great roadside attractions. Looks like they've added a new James Dean pointing for you to go into the gas station. Was kind of eerie to take the road from the gas station to his crash site.

Cutout James Dean doesn't look happy. On Sept. 30, 1955, this was the last place he was seen alive. But on a cheerier note, 1955 gas was about 25 cents a gallon!
