The '56 Desoto, not the '55 was the one which became a classic, often bubble gum pink, off white, and black. There were zillions of them. A bit sleeker than this model. Had small pointed tail lights. This model looks typical 1954.

Subject: Groucho sent them?

Imagine Groucho, the guy who famously said he'd never belong to any club that would have him as a member, hearing a pitch for this ad: "Groucho sent me," indeed.

Beyond that notion, pre-Frebergian hard sell, bouncy jingle, starry-eyed consumers and fluid animation make this spot more of an enduring classic of '50s culture than the car it pushes.

An entertaining commercial for the DeSoto with George Fenneman narrating.

Well, if Groucho told me to buy a DeSoto, then darn well I'll buy one! LOL!

Seriously, one crazy little commercial here, although I think it's intended to by funny.
