Founded in 1913 as Bamford & Martin Ltd., the company was renamed Aston Martin in 1914 after a successful race. The iconic Aston Martin wings logo replaced the AM monogram in 1927. In 1947, the company was acquired by industrialist David Brown, ushering in an era that included the iconic DB5 model, featured in the James Bond film Goldfinger. After changing ownership multiple times and facing closure in the 1920s, Aston Martin was resurrected in the 1990s with the introduction of the new DB7 model. The company is best known for its association with James Bond films over multiple decades.
