Were there man-on-the-street grass roots 1950s advocates that were instrumental for getting the interstate highway system built? Suburban expansion advocates? Do you really only need an advocate to convince people to like something that they otherwise currently dislike?

Yeah, motorist clubs. AAA did a lot of advocacy for expanding driving back in the day, apparently they still lobby for & against certain taxes.
No, just car and oil company executives lobbying politicians.
