In earlier times, new models were also promoted in many different ways. We can see that in this 1956 photo of the then brand-new Renault Dauphine. This is the very first version with the 4CV star-wheels, which were only used for two model years. The clownish foursome that stands here with the red car, clearly is part of the artists of a circus. The car is parked on the piste. The story doesn't tell whether the new Renault is involved in a circus act or whether the images were made for other promotional purposes.
