The party kicking off the 2007 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance took place in the tree-lined entrance to the waterfront Beach and Tennis Club. The martinis were stirred (not shaken), and attendees strolled the swanky surroundings dressed in their finest haute couture. James Bond would have blended right in, making it the perfect place to debut the fictional British spy’s latest ride.



The Aston Martin DBS is the newest sports coupe from the famed marque, and Aston’s Chief Executive Officer Dr. Ulrich Bez was on hand to introduce it. With Aston Martin as one of the featured marques at this year’s Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, Dr. Bez noted that although Aston Martin will always honor its rich heritage, the DBS represents the future of the company.
