“My dad gave me his fully restored 1964 Chevelle SS.” – Sandra M. (Image/Facebook)

Yesterday on Christmas Eve, we revealed some of the gifts you hoped to find under the tree this morning.

Now that it’s Christmas Day, we’re taking a literal page out of Charles Dickens’ book and looking to the past—with some help from the Summit Racing Facebook and Summit Racing Instagram pages, the question was asked:

What was the Most Memorable Automobile-Related Christmas Gift You’ve Ever Received?

And judging from the responses, a lot of you were on Santa’s “Nice” list. From toys to tools, cars to camshafts, there were plenty of good reader contributions that we’d love to see under our tree. (And they make darn good gift ideas for the gearhead in your life too!)

We picked out some of our favorites below, and if you’d like to add any, let us know in the comments section at the bottom of this article.
