After that, a 1963 Max Wedge Plymouth. I have a photo of it somewhere...
"Landy was one of drag racing's first "factory" drivers, wheeling a 413 Max Wedge Plymouth to ever faster and faster quarter mile runs. In 1964 he moved to a 426 Wedge Dodge..."

and
"Landy began racing in 1956 as a freshman in high school. Originally, Landy began his Pro racing career driving Fords and in 1962, he got a new 406-cid Ford Galaxie, which would have been a good car, but that was the year that Chrysler got into drag racing, and it made all the Fords and Chevys obsolete. Landy switched to a Plymouth with a three-speed manual transmission, then got an automatic-transmission-equipped Plymouth in 1963."
