Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer Lopez seems like a sports car kind of lady. And this Aston Martin sure is one heck of a sports car. But did you know Ford played a hand in Aston Martin productions? Ford placed Aston Martin in the Premier Automotive Group, invested in new manufacturing and ramped up production. In 1994, Ford opened a new factory at Banbury Road in Bloxham to manufacture the DB7. In 1995, Aston Martin produced a record 700 cars. Until the Ford era, cars had been produced by hand coachbuilding craft methods, such as the English wheel. In 1998, the 2,000th DB7 was built, and in 2002, the 6,000th, exceeding production of all of the previous DB series models. And now J-Lo’s got one. Funny how that works.
