A model describes the DB5 at the Detroit auto show.

In December, we had A POST about how James Bond’s Aston Martin DB5 was scheduled to be part of the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

This week was the media and industry previews for the show, which opens to the public this weekend. We got a hurried shot during a presentation by Covisint, an information-technology company whose customers include automotive companies.

The Covisint presentation during the media preview including the soundtrack of Goldfinger playing, specifically the scene where James Bond (Sean Connery) is trying to get away from Goldfinger’s men but is unsuccessful.
