Groucho Marx did quite a few DeSoto ads on his TV show, You Bet Your Life. Speaking of Chrysler, Here's one from 1958 touting the new Push button Torqueflyte transmission. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but those buttons tended to come apart in the dash and could be a PITA to repair.

Those Chrysler products undoubtedly inspired the song Pushbutton Automobile by the Medallions.
