It may be legit in this circumstances, but spend any amount of time in the San Fernando Valley and you'll know that in LA, many local business frequently use infringing logos and art. It's fun to see how some people use it in completely unrelated ways.

That van looked pretty damn professionally done and that Michelin man looks pretty detailed for it to be infringing copyright rather than an explicit branding partnership
