The ASTONishing DB5

This Aston Martin dealership had multiple Aston Martin DB5’s. When I first saw the rear of this car I knew immediately what this amazing car was. As most of you know this was Aston Martin’s first model to star in the famous James Bond series first appearing in the 1964 Goldfinger. This car was actually only about 200 cars away from being the exact car that Sean Connery used in the films. This DB5 was found in Ireland and was estimated to be an earlier DB5 model. It was a rather interesting find because it had a sunroof and also some other additions and modifications. This was odd because Aston Martin didn’t even offer these additions at that time. The DB in all of the DB models stands for David Brown. He was the person credited for designing the legendary DB models.

This cars design is timeless. Even after about 50 years after this car first hit the market it still looks appealing. When the car came out it was an absolute monster. With a top speed of 142 miles per hour and a V12 pumping out 282 horsepower it was definitely a huge force to be reckoned with. Everything about this car just captivates you. From its classic circular headlights, its curved windscreen, to the elegant and grand sloping cabin, and its exquisite rear end lights. The interior is amazing as well. The Aston Martin DB5 is covered in premium leather. From the seats down to the doors there is that air of mastery for the art that are involved in the details like these. The steering wheel is huge compared to the steering wheels in modern day cars but this also gives you more of a gentle control over the car. Besides the steering wheel the speedometer and the other dials are larger too. This lets you see them more easily rather than needing to look with difficulty. We just loved everything about this astonishing car.
