I am told that she and her father were already using the Doretti name on their
line of Cal Specialties accessories in the USA. The badge on the cars was
derived from the logo that Dorothy drew up for Cal Specialties. She apparently
thought the tie-in would be good for business and sold the rights to the name
to Swallow for a buck. I am also told that Dorothy had a lot of input into the
design of the car.
