Travel retailer Gebr. Heinemann has put a duty-free [Porsche](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintage-car-showroom) up for sale in the Hamburg airport. This 1959 Porsche is completely restored and sells for the whopping price of $201,604.

I've seen cosmetics, medicines and alcohol for sale in duty-free stores, but I have never seen anything quite like this. Gebr. Heinemann may not sell the Porsche, but at the very least they are attracting customers to other [duty-free shops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nuremberg-airport).

**Implications** - What I think is particularly interesting about Gebr Heinmann putting the 1959 Porsche in their duty-free shop is that it is a really effective marketing strategy. Whether you are a car enthusiast or not, you will be attracted to this 1959 Porsche.
