From Tom
Householder:
"This is one of Max's cars . It's in
Europe now and restored to Factory with the TR drive line. This is
chassis #1068 for future reference. Although I never got to inspect
this car it appears to have maintained most of its original parts. One
floor pan seems to have been transplanted from another car . This is the
third car with a louvered hood that I've seen. Max 's car did not
have the open scoop. The other hood I have pics of had a chrome opening
ala '56 Thunderbird . The registration number of this car was: Calif.
QEF 367. Car was black with red interior."
From Ron Cummings:
"Dorothy Dean and Jim Sitz told me that
Max bought at least 3 and possibly 4 Dorettis from her and converted them
to 'Nailhead' Buick power. He sold them but kept and raced one car.
Jim seems to think they were all black. Tom is a Doretti expert. Tom has
a photo of the remains of Max's personal Doretti with Tom standing next
to it. Tom at one point had located three Balchowsky Dorettis.
Max used his car in both drag racing and road racing."
