On "My Car Story" we're in Palatine IL at Harper College at an event held by the British Car Union which is having their 29th Annual British Car Festival on 9-13-15.

We're looking at a 1951 Aston Martin DB2 # LML 50 37 unrestored & engine start up.

The car's Owner is Allen Krodel.  Allen’s Father purchased the car in 1957, and the car has been in the family since then!  As you can see, this car is all original.

Researching on Wikipedia when I typed in "Aston Martin DB2" the results were - "The DB2 debuted at the New York Auto Show in April 1950 and continued in production until April 1953, by which time 411 had been made. The first 49 had a chrome-framed front grille in three separate parts, and large rectangular cooling vents in the front wings. Subsequent cars had a one-piece grille with horizontal chrome slats, and no side vents.

The single-piece bonnet was hinged at the front. At the rear of the fixed-head coupé (FHC) a small top-hinged lid gave access to the spare wheel, and luggage space was behind the front seats, accessible only from inside the car". 

ENJOY!
