Member: Will Webb Hobby since: 2000 Cars: 1930 Deluxe Coupe Miles: 1,000 each year Favorite drive: Tours to various Colorado towns About: I have had "Thorne" for 11 years and have been in the PPMAFC for the same length of time.  "Thorne" was built in Feb. 1930 and is a Deluxe coupe.  The car was restored by Dutch and Margo Nelson (prior members of the club) in 1980, and the car has been in the PPMAFC since 1980.  She has about 20,000 miles on her since restoration, including 11 trips to the summit of Pikes Peak.   Since, I've owned "Throne" she has received a transmission overhaul, brakes, and lots of small improvements.  It has been a lot fun with some great overnight tours to Durango, Taos and Breckenridge.  Prior to being owned by the Nelson's, this car belonged to Colorado Springs Sherriff, Earl Sullivan and was often seen parked near the jail in Colorado Springs with a large white star on the side.   I also known a man who owned the car in the 1950's and he tells that his brother bought the car from a rambling county/folk musician named Buck Sherman in Teller County.  So, Thorne is familiar with all the old roads up that way.       Copyright © 2012 Pikes Peak Model A Ford Club
