Ed, I looked at that pic too, but I don't think Jack's car ever had the red top.

Sammy - Seems I remember seeing that Olds with Jerry Dover Jr. driving it at LaPlace in1975.

I believe Jack's Olds had a red top. Bill Godwin and I helped him wrench that car at the Dallas Springnationals in 1970 and I remember the red top. Somewhere I have a couple of pictures from that race . . .

Was 1976 the year that Dover Jr and S.E. Were in a points battle up to the last race? I remember there almost being a fight between Kuntz and Dover Jr at the Jackson points race. Jim was such a hothead in those days.
