Nope.  Fred Sibley's jet dragster was called "Airplane US-1."

In the photo he's running against Walt Arfons.

OK then. I'll assume you are right. I've only seen it referred to as the "Fred Sibley Jet Car".

So, you're halfway there.  :)

Just need the other car.

58 Chevy?  All I have to go on is the shape of the door/a-pillar, so it's a crap shoot.

Those dogleg a-pillars were almost everywhere in the '50's
