ASTON MARTIN DB5

Sean Connery is a fine actor but any car buff will tell you that the real star of the movie "Goldfinger" was the Aston Martin DB5. It was the first DB5, a Silverbirch prototype: DP216. It would become the "most famous car in the world" recognized by people who prior to seeing the movie wouldn't have known an  Aston Martin from a Purple Martin. The DB5 was in production from 1963-1965 with 898 having been built. The nearly 3500 pound DB5, powered by a 4.0 litre, 6 cylinder engine, had a top speed in excess of 140mph.
