Chassis No.1001 Ardell BrownThis first production Doretti is now located in Utah and still looks to be in
excellent condition. Ardell Brown the present owner of the car says that,
"I purchased the car in 1979 from a man named Ken Halderman in Salt Lake City,
Utah. He had inherited the car from his brother who had actually purchased it
new in Los Angeles. According to some pictures that I have, the original
color was white. When I got the car it was a dark green. I have since
painted the car red, as it appears in the pictures." ... Ardell Brown
