Blurry and shorn of critical trim parts, that's about the best we can do.
I want to say 1955 based on the front end contour and what little can be seen of the taillamp housing.
Will so list pending dissent.

I found a clear image in these two websites:

but there seems no detailed explanations :/

Run by Ferguson Racing according to the 2006 Speed Week results, but I can't locate any more.

There is a Ferguson Racing website, but it appears out of date and makes no mention of participation at Bonneville. I suspect it's not the same Ferguson Racing: http://www.fergusonracing.net/

Based on new photos, 1955 and 1956 are out.
Either a '53 or '54.
Listing as '53 as first of possible years.
