I don't know what it's called but I do recognize some of the parts of it.  Is it at Bonneville?

A long shot - Russian?

(on the basis that it's not Bonneville and the car doesn't look Australian)

Yes, it's in a well known page.
Carl Grimes Wild Wagon.
Chassis & suspension from a late ’30s DeSoto. Rear end from late ’40s Oldsmobile. Body from a 1948 Crosley. He made the hood & fenders. Has used 3 engines a Cadillac V8 replaced for a Buick V8 then finally an Oldsmobile V8.
1955 was the first National Hot Rod Association’s national drag race—the sport’s biggest and most premier event. Carl was there with the Wild Wagon—the first to enter and qualify.

If it's not at Bonneville, where is it - Muroc?

"He raced it at Perryville airstrip near Goodyear, Arizona (possibly Arizona’s first drag strip) and throughout the southwest"
