In the “now there’s something you don’t see every day” category, we today have this: a 1972 Ferrari 365 GTB/4, suspended from the ceiling—in a school. That’s where this Ferrari lives now, after it was donated to McPherson College in Kansas by trustee Dr. Richard Lundquist. Since we highly doubt Dr. Lundquist couldn’t find more suitable storage for the Ferrari, his gift is instead assumed to be a generous, gleaming cherry atop McPherson’s newly completed student center.

If this seems kind of random to you, then you surely aren’t aware of McPherson’s College’s distinction as the only institution of higher learning in America that offers a four-year degree specifically in restoring old cars. A 1953 Mercedes-Benz 300S cabriolet restored by students at the school won second in its class at the 2023 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, in fact. And if you’re sitting there wondering why on earth you got a history degree or went to business school or something instead of getting a formal education in bringing classic cars back to life, well, so are we.
In any event, the Ferrari was hung in the student center’s atrium, three stories up in the air, by a sort of platform. (So, no, the Ferrari isn’t hanging by hooks or something—it’s resting, seemingly by its wheels, on a special structure that is itself hung from the ceiling.) You can watch the Ferrari being hoisted up in the video below, and subsequently be jealous that your school didn’t have something so awesome in its lobby.
