Janis Joplin Asked God To Buy Her A Mercedes Benz, Bought Herself A Porsche
Janis Joplin paid $3500 for her 1965 Porsche 356c Cabriolet. Dave Richards, a friend and Big Brother roadie, created this psychedelic design, which includes an image of Janis and Big Brother on the front left fender. The car quickly became identified with Joplin, who drove it around San Francisco, where she lived, and down to Los Angeles, where she recorded.
