Here's a clever little ad from Volkswagen, circa 1970.
The setting is the 1949 auto show. While since-defunct brands Studebaker, Packard, & DeSoto (the latter better known as Groucho Marx's sponsor on You Bet Your Life) get the attention, Volkswagen quietly goes about its business.
Featuring Wink Martindale and McLean Stevenson.
At the time, Stevenson was appearing on The Doris Day Show, and, depending on when this ad debuted, Martindale would soon or was at the time helming a revival of Can You Top This? in syndication, with Morey Amsterdam & Richard Dawson, among others.
