The DB5 was first seen at the Frankfurt show in September '63; it's proved quite popular since...

It’s not often that a manufacturer can get away with the phrase ‘world’s most iconic car’ in a press release, but in the case of the DB5 Aston Martin might just be permitted. Thanks to that indelible association with 007, its style, performance and celebration of all things swinging '60s, the DB5 may just be able to lay claim to the description. Along with a few other cars of that decade, in fact - think 911, Miura, 250 GTO, E-Type and so on. What a few years it was.

We won’t dwell on the point here, but suffice it to say the starring role of a DB5 in 1964’s Goldfinger worked wonders for the car’s celebrity appeal in the '60s. And, thanks to subsequent cameos in later films, comfortably into the 21st century as well. You can’t think about James Bond without the DB5 coming to mind, and vice versa. And when we're talking about one of the most successful and long-running film franchises ever, that leaves quite a mark, culturally speaking.
