Saw the Joplin 356 at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame over the winter, and while it was really neat to look at, I felt sad for it considering it wasn't getting used

^ interesting story about that car. After her death the family fought over ownership. Car feel into disrepair over the years. Finally researfaced but needed complete restro and repaint. Nothing but the odd pic of the original so as many as could be found were used for reference during respray. Original paint was supposed to be a weekend job by ??? And done on a whim. Reprint was prolly one of the most discussed and analyzed in resent history.

Interesting. The car in post 532 is a cab (1962 or later) The car in post 535 is a roadster (1960 or 61).

Great pickup - Matt, how can you tell the difference (esp. for what year the car is)?
Also, if you look around the headlight and marker light, the paint pattern is different, to say nothing of the yellow lenses.

The profile of the hood opening gives away the year, and the windshield frame tells the difference between cab and roadster. Headlights aren't a big deal as they fit any number of years. Also,the paint quality on car number 2 (the one I took pics of) was much better than on the original which was painted with house paint so its been said.
From what I understand there were 2 cars.. long after Joplin's death the original was in really bad shape, has been restored and sits in Cleveland's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum although its owned by Joplin's brother and sister.

Good catch Matt! Can't believe I missed so obvious a difference!
