That car looks just like a copy of a Pegaso Z102! It's got a big white plastic steering wheel, so is it from the US ?
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

Dkw based?

It's interesting that "targhediferro" asked this question. There was a John Nicolaides in Canada who raced a DKW 3=6 Monza at Harewood Acres race track in 1959. Could this car be a rebodied and lightened Monza?

That's a very interesting suggestion.
Unfortunately I have just those 2 pics and the name Nicolaides.

Probably not a Monza, but the wheels and the steering wheel look like standard DKW 3=6 ones.
