Galpin Aston Martin

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A little boy named Max was visiting LA with his family when they stopped at Galpin Aston Martin for some ice cream. As he approached the showroom, something caught his eye—a life-size statue of James Bond holding a martini. Suddenly, the statue’s glass tipped slightly, and a real olive rolled onto the floor. Max bent down to pick up the olive, only to hear the statue whisper, ‘Shaken, not stirred.’ Everyone in the showroom burst out laughing, including the salesman who exclaimed, ‘Welcome to Galpin Aston Martin—where even statues know their clients!’

2. Late one night, an Aston Martin delivery driver pulled up to Galpin’s doors. As he unloaded the gleaming vehicle, a strange sound came from inside—a faint humming, almost like someone whistling softly. Curious, the delivery driver leaned in closer and heard a voice singing ‘My Way’—clearly, someone was hiding in the car. After some searching, they found an old neighbor napping in the backseat, snoring gently along with the radio. The next morning, everyone had a good laugh over coffee.

3. A neighbor's dog started howling every time someone drove into the Galpin parking lot late at night. No matter who it was or what car they drove, the canine would join in a mournful chorus until the vehicle left. One day, an enthusiastic delivery driver arrived with his favorite song blasting on the stereo. As soon as he pulled in, the dog joined in perfect harmony—singing along to the rhythm of the music instead of the cars. The owner of Galpin laughed so hard he almost missed the next customer.

4. At dawn, before anyone else arrived, a voice crackled over Galpin’s intercom: ‘Your dream car is here—just bring cash.’ A delivery driver appeared with a mysterious smile, handing over a briefcase full of crisp bills. Later that day, a regular customer joked, 'Guess who paid cash for their new ride?' Everyone laughed, knowing it was just another Galpin legend.
