If you thought the privilege of seeing your favorite James Bond vehicle was reserved for people in Bond’s native England, the Peterson Automotive Museum in Los Angeles is ready to prove you wrong.
Indeed, the largest gathering of Bond vehicles ever assembled in North America is taking place at the museum beginning September 25th and running through October 30th, on the first floor of the Mullin Grand Salon gallery.
The first event of its kind in North America, the Bond In Motion exhibit will feature some of the finest automotive highlights of one of the longest-standing movie franchises in history. That includes the 1977 Lotus Esprit turned into a working submarine in The Spy Who Loved Me, the 1985 Aston Martin V8 from The Living Daylights, the BMW Z8 from The World Is Not Enough, and the crown jewel of the exhibit, the 2019 Aston Martin DB10 from Specter.
The Bond In Motion exhibit is as official as they get, and has the involvement of the Ian Fleming Foundation and EON Productions, with blessings given by the Bond series’ current production studio, MGM. The movie giant delegated the shipping of all exhibited cars from the UK to DHL, the company that’s overseen the logistics of the last five previous Bond movies.
The museum will host an opening ceremony on the night of September 23rd, before the exhibit’s public opening, to celebrate the momentous occasion of such sought-after and memorable Bond cars finally making their long-awaited American tour. General admission to the museum is $16 for regular patrons, $14 for seniors, and $11 for children ages 4 to 17.
The exhibit will be up and running just in time for the global release of the 25th bond movie, No Time to Die, on October 8th of this year. It’s a flick sure to be more appreciated by taking an up and close look at the cars that made James Bond the name it is today.
