My mom owned a Swallow Doretti when I was a little tyke in California back in the mid- to late-50s. Dorettis are quite rare. I believe about 250-300 were built.
Fast forward to a few days ago. A Doretti guy I've communicated with off-and-on with via email for about five years or so has come across a basket case in the SF area and thinks it might be my mom's car. Obviously, if it really is, I'd be interested in buying it (if I could afford what the owner is asking price, which is an unknown at this point). Key to my interest in the car is finding out whether or not it really is my mom's car. Alas, I have absolutely no paperwork for the car. No old insurance papers, mechanic's receipts, nothing. The only thing I do have is the license plate number you can see in the above picture (HJM 452). To those of you who have experience dealing with the CA DMV, is there any way to get the car's VIN (at least) based on the plate number? Thanks, Skip |
