She also posted a photo of the two of them smiling next to the classic car.

“Good job, Dad!” she laughed in the ad. Garner said in the commercial her father had previously called the company asking for the “Jennifer Garner” card because she’s a spokeswoman. The “13 Going on 30” actress called it “such a dad thing to do.”
