Let's build your team

The Path to Pebble documentary, narrated by legendary television host and comedian Jay Leno, tells the story of McPherson College’s journey to compete on car collecting’s biggest stage.

In the 72-year history of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, the most prestigious car show in the world, there had never been a vehicle fully restored by students accepted onto the field. But in 2023, their 1953 Mercedes-Benz 300 S Cabriolet was not only accepted but came away with a historic podium finish.
