“Relax.” Jack Palance is here to put you at ease. (Avis commercial, 1973)

“The Wizard of Avis, so you can be on your way…faster.”

For the rest of the year, in order to avoid numbering confusion, we’ll blend Saturday & Sunday 70s Spots into the “Daily 70s Spots” numbering system. And we’ll keep the vintage commercials to a double portion on each weekend day.

Here then are two spots from October of 1973. One for Avis Rent-A-Car featuring the always-relaxing Jack Palance. After that, one for Holiday Inn with big city traffic and a frazzled business man.
