Hot rodders must face up to reality
Hot rodders must face up to reality
David Grainger, CanWest News Service
In a typical case of killing the messenger, I received some pretty nasty e-mails in response to a recent column about the vulnerability of hot rods and custom cars to environmental legislation.
Rather than it being taken as a cautionary tale, it was misinterpreted as my personal condemnation of hot rods and the custom car culture. Some comments were amusing but, by the time I had finished responding to some of the doorknobs, I was starting to think that putting them out of business isn't such a bad idea.
Several points were raised that I would like to address:
First claim Hot rods are fuel efficient and environmentally friendly: Sure, a 427-cubic-inch, big-block Chev with two Holly 750 double-pump carburetors, headers and cherry bomb mufflers is positively tree hugging, a real exercise in environmental awareness.

Aston Martin DBS - Casino Royale
Aston Martin DBS - Casino Royale
Daniel Craig's first role as Bond sees him at the seat of the upgraded DB9 - named the DBS. This is fitted with a few optional extras to make life in the secret service a little easier. I'll update these when everyone's seen the film!
During the film 007 takes a ride in the latest Ford Mondeo.
Bond also manages to get his hands on another classic Aston Martin DB5 from 1964.

Aston Martin V12 Vanquish - Die Another Day
For Pierce Brosnan's last outing as 007, Bond returns to an Aston Martin - and this one is more powerful and better equipped than any of his previous vehicles
Four grille mounted rockets along with two machine guns.
Two motion -sensing guns consealed under the bonnet.
Spiked tyres for ice driving.
Plus, just incase none of this gets you out of trouble, you can always flick a switch and become invisible!

BMW 750iL - Tomorrow Never Dies
BMW 750iL - Tomorrow Never Dies
'Q' delivered a lovely new BMW 750 to Bond and luckily had it fully insured for all eventualities.
Remote controlled from a cell phone, Bond spends a fair bit of time out of the car during the car chase. Fully loaded with weapons, Bond steers the car towards the roof..
The last time it was seen flying off the multi-storey, car park - straight into the 'Avis Rent-a-Car' showroom.

"Bond returned in 1995 with a German set of wheels - although he only managed a short ride in the country before handing the car over to his American contact, Jack Wade."

Aston Martin V8 Vantage and Volante-The Living Daylights
Aston Martin V8 Vantage and Volante-The Living Daylights
For the last few Roger Moore films, specialised cars were again sadly lacking. Once Timothy Dalton appeared in The Living Daylights, things were about to get back to normal.
Bond returned in an Aston Martin V8 Vantage along with a soft-topped Volante.
The car was equipped with 'laser guns' in the wheels, out-riggers for 'skiing', automatic, self inflating, spiked tyres, jet propulsion and the usual concealed guns.

007: Lotus Esprit - The Spy Who Loved Me
Lotus Esprit - The Spy Who Loved Me
After Goldfinger, James Bond took the DB5 for another quick spin in Thunderball. For the next few films, the 'Q' branch didn't have much to offer in the way of feature packed cars. A brief drive in an Aston Martin DBS during 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' and a bit of 2 wheel driving in a Ford Mustang - then in 1977 things hotted up...
The Lotus Esprit was full of surprises..
Rear firing mud sprayers.
Full 'underwater' kit turning the car into a fully operative submarine.
Surface-to-air missiles used to end Naomi's helicopter ride.
Depth charges.
Underwater smoke screens
Torpedoes.

007: Aston Martin DB5
James Bond has probably driven more different vehicles than any handful of other screen characters in cinema history. From the Sixties cool of a Sunbeam Alpine and Aston Martin, through the Seventies and Eighties with svelte Lotus Esprits, to the Nineties chic of BMW sportscars, and speeding into the 21st Century with Aston Martin’s beast of a car – the Vanquish. Take a look at the files of just a few of the cars in which James Bond oo7 has created more screen destruction, havoc, mayhem – and motor vehicle madness than a
posse of short-sighted pensioners on the M25 or an Interstate Highway!

Retractable rear bullet proof screen
Radio telephone concealed in secret door compartment

Revolving number plates (BMT 216A - UK, 4711-EA-62 - France and LU 6789 - Switzerland)
Armaments draw under front driver seat

The Black Beauty
This is the most complete history to date; there are gaps of information, however, if you have factual information that can be corroborated with documentation I welcome your input.
Dean Jeffries created both cars in 1966. One car, the number #1 was created first some time in June or July. They were both used on the set of the show and first appeared together in the episode "Corpse of the year" on January 13, 1967. On March 24, 1967 the last episode of the Green Hornet aired. After the filming, both cars moved to undisclosed locations.
Some years later George Barris acquired one car. From that car he made a reported (3)Copies for promotion. Later he sold the original to JJ Born of the Chicago Historical Antique Automobile Museum Inc. in Highland Park Ill. After some time Born sold the car to a Chicago area Dentist. It sat for a few years and then was resold to Vintage Motorcars Showplace in Cleveland, Ohio. During the time that it was there, it was rented out for parties and special events. It appeared at the Chicago Hero Convention in March of 1991 were it was supposed to be auctioned for sale. There were no buyers. At that event Van Williams and Wende Wagner signed the desk in the rear of the car. Later in 1991 the car was put up for auction at the Kruse fall Auburn event in August. At that event it was purchased by Miss Opal Wall of Sturgis Michigan. At that time she was 78 years old. She was a unique lady with a passion for black cars; she owned three when I met her. She said she liked The Black Beauty's color and style. In 1992 she put the car in Gilmore's auto museum in Kalamazoo Michigan.
