I could not resist a visit to this year's Keels & Wheels classic car & boat show held each spring in Seabrook, Texas which is between Houston and Galveston on the Texas Gulf Coast
each year they seem to have something I haven't seen before & this year was no exception
here is an exquisite 1950 DB2 Aston Martin

first puzzle, this car model played a key role in a well known Hollywood film ...do you know which one?

I greatly admire the dashboards of these classic cars

on closer scrutiny I could not figure out what purpose the two electrical connectors at the bottom of the far left cluster served ...anyone here with knowledge of vintage Aston Martins know?

larger versions of these (essential to see the electrical connectors) can be found here
classics Photo Gallery by Artichoke Vinagrette at pbase.com though the answer to the first question is posted there as well ...no cheating

hope you like
