The Aston Martin DB9 is a two-door
grand touring car produced by the British carmaker
Aston Martin from 2004 until its discontinuation on 27 July 2016. The
coupe debuted at the
Frankfurt Motor Show in 2003, while the Volante
convertible debuted at the
Detroit Auto Show in 2004.
Full-scale manufacture began in January 2004 for the coupe version and in February 2005 for the Volante. The DB9 was designed by
Ian Callum and
Henrik Fisker, and is the successor to the
DB7, which Aston Martin produced from 1994 to 2004. The car's
chassis is composed of
aluminium and composite materials. In 2008 and 2010, minor alterations were implemented to the DB9's exterior and engine, and in 2012 prominent adjustments were made to its front
fascia, interior and engine. The DB9 was adapted for racing by
Aston Martin's racing division in the form of the
DBR9 and the
DBRS9, both introduced in 2005. To commemorate the discontinuation of the DB9, Aston Martin released the DB9 GT in 2015. (Full article...)

Nathan Francis Mossell (July 27, 1856 – October 27, 1946) was an American physician. Born in
Hamilton, Ontario, Mossell was the fourth of six children and both his parents were descended from freed slaves. During the
American Civil War, the family moved back to the United States, settling in
Lockport, New York, where Mossell's father went into business. Mossell earned a degree from
Lincoln University, a historically black college in Pennsylvania, followed by the
University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, where he graduated in 1882. He was active in the
NAACP and also helped found the
Douglass Hospital in West Philadelphia in 1895, which he led as chief of staff and medical director until he retired in 1933. His wife was the activist and teacher
Gertrude Bustill Mossell. This portrait of Mossell was taken around 1882.
