Doug Landwer's Lincoln powered 53 Plymouth called Candy Red Coupe....who owns it??

Hey,

Im wondering if anyone has info on a 1953 Plymouth 2 door coupe that was called "Candy Red Coupe". Doug Landwer of Bakersfield, Ca owned and worked the car. The car had a 1956 Lincoln engine it, corvette grill, nerf bar bumpers, louvers in the hood, pleated and rolled in red and white by J & L Top Shop and floor shifter.

Also I have the the CA license plate number that was on the car when pictures were taken in Sept of 1959......KRL 813

This car is beautiful looking at it in b&w pictures. I want to know if its still around.

 

That Plymouth was and still is my all time favorite custom. I was talking about it last saturday with a friend, and mentioned when I hit the lottery, I will have someone like Gambino Customs clone it for me. For those who don't know, it appears in the Sept., 1959 issue af Custom Cars magazine.

 

can you post a pic?

 

Ill try and scan the artical tonight and post it.

 

yeah i'd def. like to see some pics of that

 

I think there's a Mike Landwehr on this board- maybe a relation? Something to check out.

 

Sorry to revive an old thread, but do you still have that picture?
