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.
