McPherson is the only college in the U.S. offering a four-year degree in automotive restoration, so it is fitting to showcase a unique classic automobile in its new building.
The Daytona Ferrari, ranked by MotorTrend as the second greatest Ferrari of all-time, was donated in 2022 by Dr. Lundquist, a Giving Pledge philanthropist, real estate developer, car collector, and McPherson College Trustee.

During the ribbon-cutting and car-unveiling ceremony on July 24, Dondlinger Construction of Wichita presented McPherson College with a $125,000 gift to support student activities and programs. The company served as the general contractor for the Campus Commons — a 55,000-square-foot hub for student services and the centerpiece of a major campus update.
“Dondlinger Construction played a critical role in bringing our vision for the Campus Commons to life,” the McPherson College President said. “Their team brought the highest level of professionalism and craftsmanship to the project. We are grateful for their partnership on this project and for their commitment and support of the college long after the project is finished.”
In addition to overseeing construction, Dondlinger planned and implemented the custom rigging system used to suspend two classic automobiles from the building’s three-story atrium. The first car, a 1972 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona, was unveiled during the ceremony. A second car, a 1956 Austin Healey 100M Le Mans Roadster
