The Cooper Chevy-Olds Cutlass was driven by Jack Marks. A lot of great Olds guys up here in Michigan!

Nice shot of Al Seger in that 77 Cutlass

I think you are right about Dick Fortman but I think those two Cooper cars are two different cars unless the 70 was converted to a 72. The one in front of the plane is a 70 w31 if Im not mistaken. The one on the grass is a 72. Of course it was common for Olds racers of this time to change bumpers, grilles, and headlight bezels to keep the Cutlass or 442 in the current year from 70 to 72. If thats the case it could be the same car. Dale Smith of Oldsmobile would send racers 72 grilles, headlight bezels, and taillight lens for the 71 cars. But you would have to change the core support on the front of 70 cars to convert them to 71 and 72, or at least to do so correctly. Several Olds of this time operated like this. The Jim Waibel Cutlass that later became Buddy Ingersolls, The 71 blue Remlinger convertible that was repainted red with 72 parts added, and that dark colored Al Seger Cutlass SX convertible posted on this thread was repainted white with 72 parts added. It gets better, when Seger was done with the white convertible he put a 350 in it and sold it. SX only had 455s. So that SX convertible was painted white with 72 cosmetics added, given and 350 and turned lose in the early 70s. A puzzling thing about the blue Remlinger convertible is that it has the wrong grilles. They may have switched them to the 71 Cutlass S grilles because they were lighter than the correct metal grilles for this Supreme. At first I thought they changed them to use the fiberglass hood but Ive seen ram air hood with Supreme grilles and a few 71 SXs probably left the factory as such. Ron Garey ran a 71 Supreme with the same plastic incorrect grilles also though. Im thinking it was a weight saver.

These two cars are the same car. Dark color was repainted white with 72 parts added and later sold with an incorrect 350 engine. SXs were only made 70-71 and were all 455 powered. This car is ultra rare being an SX and then an SX convertible.
I read they bought it off an Oldsmobile dealer's wife. There was another dark colored SX convertible raced by Danny Lattimore but this is a different car.

Yet another rare SX convertible drag racing. This is different than the Al Seger car. This car ran in the Maryland area.

I was told these two Remlinger cars above were the same. If so they even corrected the bodyside molding and added the 72 chrome bottom rocker molding which is impressive. That wasnt the case with the Al Seger convertible above.
Both pairs of convertibles (Al Seger and Remlinger)seem to carry over the same rims respectively with the Al Seger car having motor wheel spyders and the Remlinger using the same keystones? Just to be clear here the Al Seger car is a different car than the Remlinger car and the Dodson and Lattimore is a different car from the other two.

Cool photos. Someone told me that the red '72 Olds convertible pictured is the same car that Jerry Dover's son, Jerry, Jr. later drove. I wonder what happened to that car?

Speaking of Jerry Dover, His brown 70 hardtop ended up with a racer in Bowling Green Kentucky named Bill Hudson for several years until Mr. Hudson's death. It was sold at an estate auction for either $6500 or $8500. Despite the 442 emblems this car had a Cutlass vin which may explain why it has a Cutlass rear bumper without the exhaust notches.
