Bun Emery makes his only Cup start and comes home with a top-20 although
he 36 laps down at the finish. Emery too was primarily a Convertible
Series racer.

This was a mixed race, some of the starters ran convertibles, some
hardtops. Apparently 19 Convertibles started, but I've only been able to
ID 17. They were:

#12 Weatherly
#34 Staley
#33 Massey
#49 Welborn
#86 Oldenberg
#71 Poor
#99 Emery
#7 Odo
#23 Schihl
#44 Binkley
#26 Turner
#21 Wood
#15 Pistone
#55 Larson
#76 Frank
#2 Lutz
#48 Lewallen

Weatherly was the best finisher of the open tops, coming home 6th.

Also worth noting that while Jack Smith's car was scored as the #502,
for whatever reason he only had a #5 on his driver's side. His passenger
door said #502, and I assume his roof did too.
