Janis Joplin's 356

I saw it on display in the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame a few years ago.  This car kind of puts a different twist on the recurring theme, "what color should I paint it?" 

Years ago it was at Peterson's in La -- I tried to see it when visiting Boeing but it had moved to another location.   Would love to have my Speedie vinyl wrapped like that!

That is so groovy.

There is what must be a replica paint job version of it floating round that was at the Marin-Sonoma Concours one year too. I can't recall if it was the original......I don't think so.......but there was just one Janis Joplin!

OH LORD WONT YOU BUY ME A 356

That is Hip, Groovy, Out of sight, Far out man,

Peace

<<OH LORD WONT YOU BUY ME A 356 >>

Ka-BOOM!!!

Good one Gerd!

So how would that really go??

"Oh, Lord, won't you buy me a three-fifty-six; my friends all drive Ferraris, and I must make amends . . ."

Naw, just does not sound right.

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a 356

my friends drive Mercedes, I must get my kicks

drive hard all my lifetime, love shiftin' that stick

So Lord, won't you buy me a 356

If you want to see it, it'll be here from October 12 through January 20, along with a bunch of other awesomeness...

Here's an affordable version we can afford.  I have one.  They also made a larger cookie jar but haven't seem one for a while.  It plays the "Lord, won't ya buy me" tune on the music box.
