I read about this ad but hadn’t seen it until now. My wife and I are always amazed at how stupid most tv ads are but my hat’s off to them for a great job.

This commercial was based on actual events that occurred in 1914 during WWI.

Merlin delivered to us in 2012 via the battery of a 2110 Mustang convertible, is ready for Santa Claus.

'Twas the night before Christmas and out in the garage,






'Twas the night before Christmas and out in the garage,
There wasn't a trace of a Ford or a Dodge.
The presents were wrapped and the lights were all lit,
So I figured I'd mess with the Chevy 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 old Saint Nick!
We stood there a bit, not sure what to say,
Then he spoke up, "Wanna 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."
His round little mouth, all tied up like a bow,
Turned into a smile and he said "All right, let's go!"
So as not to disturb all the neighbor's retreat,
We pushed the Chevy on down to the street.
Then taking our places to coast down the hill,
I started my baby...it was always a thrill.
The sound that erupted took him by surprise,
But he liked it a lot, by the look in his eyes.
With tires a'cryin' and headers aglow,
We headed on out where the Hot Rodders go.
And Santa's grin widened, approaching his ears,
With every shift up, as I went through the gears.
Then he yelled "I can't recall when I've felt so alive!'
So I backed off the gas and said "You wanna drive?'
Old Santa was stunned when I gave him the keys,
When he walked past the headlights, he shook at the knees.
The small block erupted with that American sound,
When Santa stomped the gas, the tires shook the ground!
Chirped into second and again into third,
I just sat there holding on, at a loss for words.
Then I heard him exclaim as he blasted from sight,
"Merry Christmas to all, it's been one heck of a night"!

and there, by the workbench, stood good ol saint nick !

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

I said "no way, Santa" and started to grin,
"but if you've got the time we could go for a spin !"
his round little mouth, all tied up like a bow,
turned into a smile and he said "hey! Let's go !!"


So as not to disturb all the neighbors' retreat
we pushed the crossfire quietly onto the street
then, taking our places to drift down the hill,
I turned on the key and i let the clutch spill
the sound that erupted took him by surprise
he liked it a lot................ By the look in his eyes.


With the Michelin's a'cryin' and the exhaust all aglow
we headed on out where the hot rodders go
and Santa's grin widened, approaching his ears,
with every shift up as i went through the gears.
Then he yelled "can't recall when I've felt so alive !"
so i backed off the gas and said "you wanna drive ?"


Ol Santa was stunned when i gave him the keys
when he walked past the headlights he shook at the knees !
The dual exhaust exploded with a loud gruff sound !
Santa let out the clutch and the torque shook the ground !


power shift into second, and again into third !
I sat there just watching, at a loss for a word
then i heard him exclaim as we blasted from sight


"Merry Christmas to all,............'
it's a hell of a good night !!!"

This guy's facial expressions are funny! How the hell does he roll his eyes like that? He can probably see his brain! LOL
