Janis Joplin's famous psychedelic Porsche returned to its erstwhile Marin home May 16th, 2010, making a rare local appearance at the Marin Sonoma Concours d'Elegance, Sunday, May 16th, 2010.
In September 1968, the budding rock star paid a Beverly Hills auto dealer $3,500 for the three-year-old sports car. When she bought it, the Porsche was a factory-painted "oyster white." For a flamboyant singer who wore rose-colored glasses and feather boas, that wouldn't do. So she got roadie Dave Richards to paint it with swirling psychedelic images, including Mount Tamalpais on one fender and a portrait of her with her band, Big Brother and the Holding Company, on another.
