Aston Martin Short Chassis Volante

The Short Chassis Volante was the first Aston Martin to be called an Aston [Martin Volante]. As it was the first Aston Martin to be called a 'Volante' any 'drop-head' version of the DB4 and DB5 series should therefore be called a 'Convertible' and not a 'Volante'.
The car is a cross between the DB5 and DB6, but is closer to a DB5. 37 cars were ever built, constructed on the last DB5 chassis', between October 1965 and October 1966. Calling it a "Short Chassis" is a bit of a misnomer; it is a unique Aston model. The "short" comes from comparing it to the subsequent DB6, which had a longer chassis. When compared to the DB5, it is not "short" but rather the same size.
