I recently saw a '53 Kaiser in a "Kia-car/Loki-movie" television commercial. Not a movie but does that count? ;D

As far as Kaisers in TV commercials go, I suggest people stick with items produced by a factory ad agency for national distribution rather than local or regional use.

The only other TV commercial I know of not done by Kaiser-Frazer, Willys-Motors or Kaiser-Jeep Corporation that shows a Kaiser prominently was the 1963-64 (?) Goodyear Tire commercial (color) that used old cars "on the road" to present it's history for car tires.  A Franklin (don't know the year), a sharknose Graham (1938) and the Pinconning Special (a factory created one-off 1947 two tone Kaiser built for Mr. & Mrs Ed Hunt).  At the time, the trio of cars came from the collection Bill Harrah had at his casino in Reno, Nevada.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned The Choppers from 1961; a '54 Manhattan is prominently featured. Unfortunately "prominent" means it gets thoroughly dismembered by car strippers:

At least you get to see some good detail views of the chassis after the car is rolled over  :-\
