Remember when National Car Rental had the Big Green Team? (1978)

Today, National Car Rental's ad campaign with Patrick Warburton (ex-Seinfeld, Rules of Engagement) is a far cry from a simpler, viewer-friendly campaign in the late 70's.

Back in 1978, National, the #3 car rental company at the time behind Hertz & Avis, promoted the Big Green Team, which inspected each car being rented out and returned. David Doyle (Charlie's Angels) is the coach in this spot. Casey Kasem, whose distinctive voice was heard everywhere back then, as he was also shilling for Chevron when not doing cartoons and American Top 40, is the narrator.
