The design was used again for chassis LML\/506.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>At Bertone Giovanni Michelotti penned the new car which added Italian flair while still retaining the essential design of the DB2, with it&#8217;s moustached front grill. Unique features include a monogrammed horn button, monogramme knock-off wheel hubs and a set of tools housed in a custom box behind the driver, essentially limited the car to just 2 passengers.<\/p>\n<p>Under the hood, the engine was trimmed and included a plaque with all Brown &amp; Bigelow\u2019s 60 sales managers. A similar treatment was used on a dashboard plaque that read \u201cThis motor car especially designed and created for Charles A. Ward by S.H. Arnolt, Chicago and Carrozzeria Bertone, Torino, Italy.\u201d The car cost $13,000 USD.<\/p>\n<p>Charles A. Ward used the car until he died at the age of 79 in 1959. It was later sold and appeared in a 1988 issue of Automobile Quarterly and in 1987 it attended the Pebble Beach Concours d\u2019Elegance. It later went into the distinguished collection of Michael Schudroff who showed it at Pebble in 2007 for Aston Martin&#8217;s feature display.<\/p>\n<p>In 2009 it was sold by Gooding and Company&#8217;s Pebble Beach Auction. They described the car as <i>&#8221;<br \/>\nMore than 55 years have passed since it was built, yet this car still retains each and every feature specified by 60 Brown &amp; Bigelow employees for their revered employer, Mr. Charles A. Ward. Quite simply this was and still is an exceptional car, crafted especially for an exceptional man. It speaks directly to what a coachbuilt automobile is all about and it will always be regarded as one of the most fascinating Aston Martins ever constructed.&#8221;<\/i><\/p>\n<div class=\"copy-paste-block\">\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\r\n                <a href='https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1953_AstonMartin_DB24BertoneDropheadCoup1.jpg' class='tipi-lightbox'>\r\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1953_AstonMartin_DB24BertoneDropheadCoup1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"1953 Aston Martin DB2\/4 Bertone Drophead Coup\u00e9\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1953_AstonMartin_DB24BertoneDropheadCoup1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1953_AstonMartin_DB24BertoneDropheadCoup1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1953_AstonMartin_DB24BertoneDropheadCoup1-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1953_AstonMartin_DB24BertoneDropheadCoup1-770x514.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1953_AstonMartin_DB24BertoneDropheadCoup1-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1953_AstonMartin_DB24BertoneDropheadCoup1-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1953_AstonMartin_DB24BertoneDropheadCoup1-293x195.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n            <\/div><\/figure>\n<h3>In Detail<\/h3>\n<table class=\"cardetails\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">submitted by<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">Richard Owen<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">type<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">Concept \/ Prototype Car<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">body stylist<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">Giovanni Michelotti<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">coachbuilder<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">Carrozzeria Bertone<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">production<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">price $<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">$ 13,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1953 Aston Martin DB2\/4 Bertone Drophead Coup\u00e9 In 1953 the managers of Brown &amp; Bigelow pitched in to buy this unique Drophead Coup\u00e9 for their president and manager Charles A.

We are like kids in a candy store, except the candy is made of metal, goes vroom-vroom, and occasionally bankrupts us faster than a sugar rush at a candy store sale! We spend hours debating the merits of turbochargers versus superchargers, and our weekends are a never-ending quest for the perfect polish and wax combo. We can identify every make and model by the sound of a revving engine, and our idea of a romantic evening is a candlelit dinner with our cars in the garage.","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.supercars.net","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Supercars.net\/","https:\/\/instagram.com\/super.cars.fans","https:\/\/x.com\/https:\/\/twitter.com\/supercars_net"],"url":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/author\/supercars\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256725","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=256725"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256725\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/256772"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=256725"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=256725"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=256725"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
