"Back in the day" when I was a greasy teenage punk (mid 60's), the popular thing to do with your cool ride was to give it a name and paint it somewhere on your car.
(Maybe 'DAWG' can relate).

For example, I hung around with a guy who had "THE WANDERER" painted in big letters on the rear fenders of his hot rod Mercury.

But did you know that Santa was a Hot Rodder, too..??
Yep..he has a cool customized sled named "Little Saint Nick".
All Summer he tunes it and gets it ready for his big night.

Here's a song all about it from 1963 (I was 19 years old).
Turn up the volume as HIGH as it will go...!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS..!!

PS....The term 'sled' mentioned in the song also refers to a customized car.
So old Santa had a really cool 'sled'...!!
