McPherson College's four year degree in Automotive
and Motorcycle Restoration Technology is the only 4 year program in
the country. The program includes complete restoration of classic and antique
automobiles & motorcycles built from 1886 to 1970.
These photos were taken during the C.A.R.S. Club Car Show
at the college in May 2017. At one time, tours could also be arranged at
other times, but it has become so popular that the Show weekend is the
only opportunity for tours unless you are a prospective student.
The Engine Restoration Lab has stands where the engines can be run
and tested on a dynamometer to assess the rebuild.
Woods Lab - McPherson College students learn basic woodworking, including
planning, fabrication and finishing,
while stressing the safe operation of power tools used in basic woodworking.
McPherson College students learn to restore wood frames, bodies and
interiors.
In 2023, McPherson College's 1953 Mercedes-Benz 300S Cabriolet was
second in class at the 72nd Pebble Beach
Concours d’Elegance. It was the first time in the history of the show
that a car restored by students landed a podium spot.
Admission to the Concours d'Elegance is by invitation only and the
cars which are entered may have had several years of work
and cost six or even seven figures.
This Power hammer in the Mechanical Fabrication "Metals" Lab was made
by one of the instructors.
