Plus lots and lots of '50s models that were never built.
Apparently it is a growth industry making fake '50s Porsches (and other "classic" cars) out of steel obtained from disused railroad beds, smelted before the steel all had traces of atomic-bomb fallout in it. I gather they actually cut the car literally down the middle and build up the other half, turning one car into two. (I doubt they cut the engine, but could be wrong!) And there is a profession now inspecting classic cars for authenticity that starts or ends with isotope analysis.
If I didn't know better, I would think the whole story was a hoax, because how could it even be possible? But apparently it is.
