Question Janis Joplin 356

Just watched a documentary on her, and am curious as to who painted the car. Also, where is it today and in what form?

It is currently in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio. I saw it there when I visited New York about 4 years ago. It's been restored to the way she had it painted. Too bad they didn't allow photography...I would have taken several photos if I got the chance. These are some photos I found on the internet

Talking

Any idea as to who painted the car originally, and if it was a daily driver?

Ron,
See <a href="http://www.officialjanis.com/html/porsche.html" target="_blank">this site </a>for more info than you'd ever want to know on the artist, Dave Richards. Verry trippy..
I seem to recall that Stoddard did some much needed restoration work on the car a few years ago.
My personal favorite is the combination <a href="http://www.officialjanis.com/html/janiscookie.html" target="_blank">cookie jar/music box </a>(even though it appears to be a Speedster instead of a C Cab ) that plays "Mercedes Benz" when you open it.

Car & Driver did a story on the car a few years ago, on where it was between when she owned it and when it went in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
