Doesn't look like the pikes pikes peak area to me, especially at the lower elevations. Probably "just" a dirt track somewhere. I lived on the Colorado Springs side of that mountain for 23 years.
I can do this, I can do this, I, well, maybe

I believe it is Daytona; he finished eighth.

When I was fourteen years old, I was amazed at how unintelligent my father was. By the time I turned twenty-one, I was astounded at how much he had learned in the last seven years!

The NASCAR Convertible Division was a division of convertible cars early in NASCAR's history, from 1956 until 1959, although the signature race for convertibles remained a Convertible Division race until 1962.
NASCAR purchased SAFE (Society of Auto Sports, Fellowship, and Education)'s all-convertible Circuit of Champions. "All Stars" circuit late in 1955. Most drivers did not make the transition to NASCAR's sanction. NASCAR ran the division from 1956 until 1959. Some Convertibles raced against the Grand National hardtop cars in the same race. The 1959 Daytona 500 had one qualifying race for Convertibles and one for the hardtop Grand National cars. 20 of the 59 cars in the Daytona 500 were convertibles.The split qualifying races of the 1959 race led to the development of the Budweiser Duel qualifying races still used in the Daytona 500.
When I was fourteen years old, I was amazed at how unintelligent my father was. By the time I turned twenty-one, I was astounded at how much he had learned in the last seven years!

Amazing how "Stock" the race cars were back then. Factory bumpers, side trim, grilles, door handles, even windshield wiper etc. A far cry from a modern NASCAR "stock car", where your V8, rear wheel drive 2 door Taurus doesn`t have a single OE body panel or chassis component on it. I don`t think I`ve watched a NASCAR race since the late 80s, when Bill Elliot, Alan Kuwicki, and Davey Allison were kicking butt with their Thunderbirds. Cars that actually were available & sold as a V8, RWD 2 door production car. What a concept!
1959 Meteor 2 door sedan , 428 Cobra Jet 4 speed. Been drag racing Fords (mostly FEs) 47 years and counting.
Previous 50s Fords include 57 Custom 4 door, 2 57 Ford Sedan Deliveries, 59  Country Sedan, and as a 9 year old, fell in love with the family 58 2 door Ranch Wagon.

I'm with you 59metor, give me the days of the Taladega  Torinos, Daytona Chargers, 427 Fairlanes and Galaxies. Today I can't tell a Ford, from a Chevy or a Toyota, how they can call it stock car is beyond me.
