It seems appropriate. I'm not sure but it's possible Chevy paid to have one of it's products (albeit an old one) featured in the Burger King commercial.

I've met Jay a few times but very few people get to tour his garage. He is a great guy and as you know is a big car guy!

Sold the car last year but I did get him to sign the console cover of my C6. My wife has been his makeup artist for years (whenever he shoots in Las Vegas). I had changed the rotors on my '06 vert and a mysterious vibration was driving me nuts. She got him to call me up a give me a ration of $hit for screwing with the car. He was hilarious. Great guy.

He's usually on "My Classic Car" car show on TV about once year. They usually take a tour through his garage.

Just like Jay Leno paid to be in the ad. You can bet the owner of that gorgeous Corvette was paid a handsome "appearance fee". It is, actually, a very clever ad that was well written and nicely executed.
