The Chevrolet Corvette almost didn't exist.

In the early 1950s, Chevrolet introduced the Corvette as a sleek, fiberglass-bodied sports car. However, initial sales were disappointing, and the car faced potential cancellation.

Then, Zora Arkus-Duntov, a Belgian-born engineer known as the "Father of the Corvette," joined GM and helped turn the car into a high-performance machine by adding a V8 engine and other racing-inspired upgrades.

His passion for the Corvette transformed it into the powerful American sports car icon we know today. Without Duntov’s influence, the Corvette might have been a short-lived experiment instead of an enduring symbol of American performance.

Be bold.

One of the earliest Christmas traditions adopted in the United States was the custom of decorating Christmas trees. The practice of bringing evergreen trees indoors and decorating them with candles, fruits, and ornaments has its roots in German traditions. German immigrants brought this custom to America in the 1700s.

The first recorded instance of a Christmas tree in America dates back to the 1830s when German settlers in Pennsylvania put up trees in their homes. However, the tradition really gained popularity in the mid-19th century. In 1851, Mark Carr, a nurseryman, is credited with selling the first Christmas trees in the United States in New York City. The idea of Christmas trees quickly spread, and by the late 1800s, it had become a widespread and beloved holiday tradition across the country.

Around this tradition, families around the world have come together and made countless memories throughout history. I hope all of you have a safe and most wonderful Merry Christmas! 🇺🇸🇩🇪🎁🎄🎄
