We all know Jay Leno loves cars, so our first thought when we saw his new commercial for Burger King wasn’t about the new menu. It was our concern that ketchup and mustard – not to mention barbecue sauce – might somehow get on that lovely C1 Corvette he was driving in the commercial.

There’s a lot of activity happening in the Corvette world south of the border.
Here is a :60 second television commercial that (we believe) is running in Mexico to support the new Chevrolet Performance Stores which will sell the Corvette ZR1 and Grand Sport models. Chevrolet Mexico made the announcement last week that four of these Performance Stores will open starting this month to allow buyers to see the features and options available on new Corvettes as well as configure their own personal order.

Chevrolet just posted a new video on your their YouTube channel called “Candles” which features the 2013 Corvette 427 Convertible with the 60th Anniversary Edition. As the length of the video is actually 30 seconds, we’re hoping to see this commercial run during this weekend’s broadcast of the 12 Hours of Sebring.

Are you man enough to test drive the awesome Chevrolet Corvette C6 Coupe? That’s the premise behind this clever commercial submitted to the Chevrolet Route 66 Film Contest by Ken Walkes and Jason Lansing. This spot was a regional winner for the Chevy Super Bowl contest, which will air an independent film maker’s commercial during the big game this Sunday. Although it wasn’t the winner of the competition, it remains one of our favorites.

With Chevrolet joining the ranks of advertisers seeking independent filmmaker submissions for a Super Bowl commercial, it’s only fitting that our friends from Michael Brown Productions, creators of “The Quest” documentary, submitted two commercials for the competition. Featuring two Corvettes at opposite ends of the performance spectrum, the commercials made it through Round 1 but were eventually cut from consideration. As the two commercials were done totally with “tongue firmly planted in cheek”, Michael has released them for your viewing pleasure.
In anticipation of this weekend’s Woodward Dream Cruise, Chevrolet has put up a couple of billboards featuring a 1953 Corvette and the 2012 Corvette ZR1 Centennial Edition. What’s really interesting is the location of the billboards: deep in the heart of Ford Country.
![[VIDEO] Corvette AdWatch: Listen | Corvette Victory at Le Mans](http://www.corvetteblogger.com/images/content/062311_14.jpg)
Following the ALMS win at Petit Le Mans last October, Chevy purchased a full page ad in USA Today to celebrate the victory. So we’ve been wondering how Chevrolet would celebrate the #73 Corvette C6.R’s Victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Well this morning, Chevy tweeted out a link to a new commercial on its youtube channel called “Listen | Corvette Victory at Le Mans” which showcases Corvette Racing’s win at the 24 hour race.
For the second straight year, GM is holding a Corvette sweepstakes where the winner will receive a new 2012 Corvette Grand Sport Convertible plus a trip for 2 to the 2012 24 Hours of Le Mans in France. To enter, you just have to answer 3 simple questions about how the Corvette Grand Sport is better than the Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet. Don’t worry, the answers a pretty obvious.
David E. Davis, Jr. passed away this week at the age 80 years old. A former ad man for Chevrolet, he made his mark writing ad copy that told a story instead of focusing on the technical. After leaving Chevrolet, Davis went on to be a writer and later the editor for Car and Driver. He founded Automobile magazine in the mid-1980′s and was the editorial director of Motor Trend in early 2000′s. In 2006 he designed the internet magazine Winding Road and in 2009 was back at Car and Driver as a columnist.
![[VIDEO] Corvette Airs New TV Commercial During ABC's 12 Hours of Sebring Broadcast](http://www.corvetteblogger.com/images/content/032011_2.jpg)
As Corvette is the title sponsor of Sunday Afternoon’s ABC Sport’s broadcast of the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring, it only makes sense to educate viewers how closely related the production cars are to the ALMS GT racers. To do so, GM showcases the Corvette ZR1 while spokesman Tim Allen tells viewers that when they decided to take 638-horsepower Corvette racing, they had to dial back the power just to be fair to Porsche, Ferrari and BMW. For Corvette’s competition on the track and in the showrooms, sometimes the truth hurts.
