Good going, GArBa; correct on both. The Lloyd (one of the brands of the Borgward Group out of Bremen, Germany) is specifically the LT500 or LT600. It has a passing resemblance to a DKW Schnellaster but there are many detail differences. |

yep, I did not specify the model as you can't really tell from the picture. To be pedantic, what I called a Taunus Transit may also be a "FK1000" (Ford Köln with a 1000kg payload) as it was known before being re-branded at the beginning of the '60s to tie in with Ford's successful "Taunus" passenger cars line.
btw, the car beside the bug atop the Neckar looks like a panel-van version of a Glas -04 series CL, didn't know they made panel van version of these, or maybe I'm guessing wrong. _________________ cars:

ooh, good spotting garba. certainly seems the right lines for a glas 1304 kombi made near munich...but they were only introduced in 66 (scrapyard image is 1970) pretty rare and I cant find any 'commercial' versions...

I have no idea, certainly the body lines look spot on... BTW from the roof shape and the beltline I think the other sedan on the right is a Neckar 1500 TS (a.k.a. NSU-Fiat 1500). I don't think I've ever seen two German-made Fiat sedans in the same picture before. _________________ cars:

too long for a 911, I think. the angle and sun glare are helping, but without the door returns the type 3 pillars are quite slim.

3rd generation Ford Thunderbird, specifically with the option "Sports Roadster" that included the rear seat rigid cover and Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels. Offered for model years 1962 & 1963. This style T-bird is known as the "Bullet Bird" due to the side profile appearance with its rounded nose that resembled a bullet.
