Janis Joplin, the 'Queen of Psychedelic Soul,' famously sang 'Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes-Benz,' but in reality, she drove a highly customized 1964 Porsche 356 SC. Finding the car’s original pearl white finish too boring for her flamboyant personality, she paid her roadie, Dave Richards, $500 to paint it with a mural titled 'The History of the Universe.' The psychedelic design included faces, butterflies, landscapes, and even the signs of the zodiac. Joplin drove the car everywhere in San Francisco, and it became as recognizable as the singer herself. After her death in 1970, the car was returned to her family and eventually restored to its psychedelic glory. In 2015, it sold at auction for $1.76 million, setting a record for the highest price ever paid for a Porsche 356 at that time.
