OK pieter. You've got the right car but I need the name of the car as opposed to the sponsers names it ran under (I appreciate that the sponsers names may be how it appears on entry lists). Essentially I need to know who actually built it since it was named after him. Exclusive to you for 48 hours.

I got my info off <<< link removed >>>
There it shows pics with The Jack Adams Airplane Special on the side and no other names (for the car) are given.
People mentioned are Jack Adams, Stan Burt and Glenn Bryant.
It seems that Bill Cheesbourg also drove the car (or at least tried to).
It seems to be front engined - not sure if I would want to sit right behind turbine exhausts at eye level - it was four wheel drive, but with a live rear axle.

You're right that particular source dosn't give any other name and it was the first (and best) info I found about the car when doing a quick google search. There are other sources on the net which refer to the car as the Bryant turbine which was what I was looking for. Indycar names are always a bit vague since the cars are named after sponsers and not constructors. But it dosn't matter, you mentioned Bryant and the point is yours. Well done.  8)
PS heres another pic of this remarkable looking car from the other angle.
