Default 3 seconds of fame for '58

Jack who painted my '58 did a commercial which was shot at his shop and in the very beginning my regal turquoise '58 fresh out of the booth makes a cameo... fun stuff. Crazy guy who is a true artisan.

I've talked to Jack on the phone a couple times when ordering parts at McJacks. As nice as they come, but had no idea he sang so well.

If you have a nice car - sooner or later it will work its way onto youtube, various web sites, printed newspapers and even commercial ads, with, but sometimes without, your permission. My '61 has shown up in some very strange venues.

The whole deal loses the excitement factor after about the 5th or 6th time.

Money Magazine wanted to do an article on me two years ago with the Corvette as the photo centerpiece - I even did a preliminary phone interview with their journalist. However, wife and I decided it prob wasn't a great idea to have too much personnel information running around in the media.

I think this speaks to the "timeless" style of a Vintage Corvette.
I don't think our cars will ever become undesirable.
