One look at Janis Joplin’s 1965 Porsche and you are immediately taken back to the modish days of the Seventies. Joplin apparently bought the used 1965 Porsche from a Beverly Hills car dealer for nearly $3500 in 1968. A roadie for Joplin’s former band, Big Brother and the Holding Company, painted the car in swirling psychedelic designs including images of Joplin and Big Brother on the front fender. You can also see butterflies, rainbows, and rolling hillsides within the colorfully detailed design. Can you imagine cruising around in this unique ride today? We personally think its pretty hip, and one of a kind – just like Porsche.

The Porsche Museum in Germany

The Porsche Museum in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen, Germany is truly a sight for true Porsche enthusiasts! The museum breathes life into the history and heritage of the Porsche brand, with over 80 vehicles on display dated as far back as 1948. Along with the unique vehicle displays, the museum offers a workshop that restores classic Porsche cars, a restaurant, coffee bar, and gift shop. This is not any regular museum however; the architecture alone is something to marvel at. The building almost appears to be floating and conveys a sense of arrival. To watch a behind the scenes video of the museum and to find out more, click here.
At Porsche of North Houston, we uphold the standard that the Porsche brand was created around. We know and respect everything our history represents. Call us today at (888) 510-4711 to talk to a Porsche professional today.
