Ford 'D" Taunus

 

From a couple of great early 60's movies. The 60 Ford 2 door wagon and a similar 4 door version, together appeared in the James Bond movie, "From Russia With Love". The 53 Ford wagon is in the comedy, "The Russians are Coming!". I recommend both movies.

 

This has to be one of the most interesting threads on the internet for car folks, I'm amazed at the amount of cars that I've seen here that I never knew of before.
Great job and thanks for sharing them all with us.

 

The warehouse buildings along the 100 block of East Peabody Street (now Ramseur) were the warehouses for the Peabody Drug Company. A smaller building immediately to the east of the warehouse buildings appears to say “Durham County Progress”. I’m not sure if this was a newspaper building or not. This view is looking northwest from the tracks, with S. Mangum St. and the Durham Silk Hosiery Mills in the background.
