1960 Aston Martin DB4 FastBack Coupe

  • Coachwork by Touring
  • Chassis Number: DB4/310/L
This Aston Martin DB4 Series II is an original left-hand-drive, Touring-bodied example. The car was ordered on May 24th of 1960, through English car distributor Charles Hornburg of Los Angeles, California. It was ordered in California Sage Green over beige Connolly leather, and given optional chrome wire wheels, Avon Turbospeed whitewall tires, Motorola models 319 radio, 17-inch steering wheel, and a DB4 owner's kit. The car's guarantee was issued on August 20, 1960, and the DB4 was shipped to its first owner, William H. Harrig of Fulton, Alabama.

William Melvin acquired the car in April of 1968, and used it as regular transportation until the early 1980s, when it was retired and stored on his property. Over a 24 year period, the car acquired 78,000 miles on its odometer. In the late 1960s or early 1970s, the car was repainted and re-upholstered.

Currently, the car has a period-installed air-conditioning system (manufactured by Overseas Motors Corp. of Fort Worth), and an aircraft-style four-point driver's harness.
