From a limited edition of 88 produced, this polychrome bronze sculpture depicts Santa Claus behind the wheel of an early Renault automobile, with a wish list in hand that is actually a list of prominent auto collectors! The exceptionally colorful piece is displayed on a marble base and includes a certificate of authenticity. Interestingly, in 1988, President Ronald Reagan invited Mr. Wanlass to exhibit this design at the White House for the Christmas festivities.
