Hertz employee Don Adams moments before the spit take.

“Ever wondered why everybody doesn’t offer 32 different kinds of cars?”

Two spots today for Hertz Rent-a-Car. First up, we find Don Adams (Get Smart) as a Hertz valet. John Erwin provides the voice heard over the loudspeaker. The commercial aired in October of 1971. Adams and Erwin (separately) appeared in a heck of a lot of commercials in the seventies. Especially in the first half of the decade.

Second, a more straight forward spot for Hertz featuring a “pay nothing” per mile offer. This one aired in December ’71.
