Bond In Motion: Petersen Automotive Museum

Maybe this isn't the exact Aston Martin most folks would have a dream of, but this particular British vehicle, in its own way, is a BOND GIRL. Image Credit: 2021 Brandon O'Brien / Motor Driven Images


Bond In Motion: Petersen Automotive Museum
Words & Images By: Brandon J. O'Brien 

The latest exhibit that opened on September 25th at the Petersen Automotive Museum displays various vehicles used in the twenty-six James Bond movies.  The exhibit titled "Bond In Motion" had been on display at the London Film Festival from 2014 and now allows North American visitors a rare up-close experience with some of the most iconic vehicles associated with the world's most famous secret agent, 007.  The exhibit celebrates the 60th anniversary of the James Bond films since "Dr. No" was released in 1962.

It features more than 30 cars, motorcycles, submersibles, a helicopter, an airplane, and scale filming models.  The exhibit will interest young and old, automobile buffs, movie aficionados, and especially James Bond fans.
