With all the discussion about ‘The Wave’ going on, I dug out an article from “Corvette News”. Corvette News, in the beginning, was a FREE publication sent out by Chevrolet to Corvette owners. A great magazine whose origin goes all the way back to 1957 (the first edition, BTW, is quite a collectors item as you may well imagine.) The particular article, called “Save the Wave”, which I am quoting, appeared in the August/September 1969, Volume 12, Number 6 — *please* keep that in mind.

There wasn’t a trace of a Honda, a Toyota or even a Dodge.

The presents were wrapped and the lights were all lit,

So I figured I’d mess with my Corvette for a bit.

I popped the release and I lifted the hood,

When a deep voice behind me said “looks pretty good.”

Well, as you can imagine, I turned mighty quick,

And there, by the workbench, stood good ol Saint Nick!

We stood there a bit, not too sure what to say,

Then he said “don’t suppose that you’d trade for my sleigh?

I said “no way, Santa” and started to grin,

“But if you’ve got the time we could go for a spin!”
