Swallow Doretti
Cars & Owners

The original owner of No.1020 was Hal Daunis who purchased the car it in Denver, Colorado (September 17th 1954) and raced it extensively, first in the Denver area and then in California. The car was subsequently restored and shown at the 1964 Pebble Beach Concours. In 1973, Tom Haslett of Woodland Hills, California purchased the car and used it for several years before it was laid-up. Ownership changed twice in rapid succession before ending up in 1991, with Frank Crowe in Santa Barbara, California. Frank Crowe began to restore the car, but once again it was returned to storage. Harman Reed, the current owner purchased the car from Frank Crowe in 2012 and the car was handed over to Randy Reed of Antique Auto Restoration in Seaside, California for a complete restoration.

In 1986, Tom Householder was informed that a vehicle with a "Fiberfab Jamaican" fibreglass body on a Doretti chassis was languishing in a Seattle, Washington salvage yard. When Tom was able to get see the car a couple of years later, he found the chassis was actually Chassis No.1025. This information allowed the salvage yard to validate the car and it was sold shortly after Tom's visit. For more information see Washington Mystery.  (Photo and info: TRhouse)
