If you look at the photos in lastest 5/22 files entry (58 Carrera speedster GS) there is an interesting anomaly. No big deal, but anyone who is a nit-picker for detail and thinking of having a new car built might want to consider it.
The front horn grilles with lights were higher above the bumpers on pre-A and early A 356's; the grill/light combo was lower on the later cars (about level with the bumper on the bottom side of the grill). You can see these differences in different years of Porsche dealership brochures. I discussed this with Henry at IM and asked him to make my '56 Speedster 356A replica with the high light location.
The picture mentioned above has the grill/light combo high, in the early location, but has the later tear-drop taillights. The tear-drops are also incorrect with the shine-down license plate light, or vice-versa.
