Connery was the first Bond, and as far as I'm concerned, the best.
First showed up in '62 in Dr. No, with a cool '58 convertible. Look at that 
sequence closely and see if you can spot the irregularity in the car pretty 
close to Ian Fleming's work. Bond later drives a Sunbeam Alpine in a chase. 
Then  From Russia with Love. Then it's off to Goldfinger where the Aston 
Martin makes its' first appearance, Thunderball, You Only Live Twice and 
Diamonds Are Forever before Connery hangs up the Bond character. 

The Lazenby guy shows up for one movie, which if memory serves, was the only 
Bond Bomb. The Cougar Rigg drives is a early car, either 68 or 69, but the 
movie was out of sequence because I think Connery gave up Bond after 
Diamonds, Chubby Broccoli (his real name) does OHMSS, bombs and convinces 
Connery to come back one last time before they move on to Roger Moore.
