The third owner Mr. Don Petty purchased the car from the Bill Ellis Estate after viewing it the Fallbrook Vintage Car Show in 2005.  Mr Petty was motivated to buy the car to use it as a model for a 1928 Model 54 Roadster that he was restoring at the time. He also felt that he and the car belonged together because of his name and the originals both being Petty’s although sightly different.

 Mr Perry sold the car to Anthony Bult
