If a Lincoln and T-Bird are quoted separately,  what's a "Heavy Car"?    LTD?

Here's another version of the ad Phillip posted earlier.  The only difference being it's missing the blue sky with clouds.  It was on the back of a United Airlines Jetarama Theater program which was published weekly.  The advertised movie, "Six Will Get You Eggroll", was released August 7, 1968.

Thanks Craig!

I was not aware of that version - I will be on the lookout for it but I bet it will be tough to find.

I do have this vintage Cougar racing jacket with a Hertz Sports Car Club patch.

This did not come from my father-in-laws stash (I got in in a trade with John Barnes) so I can't speak to it being an authentic Hertz produced item.

Someone could have put the Sports Car Club patch on a Cougar jacket, but that would be an unusual thing for the casual car enthusiast to do.

Since Hertz did rent XR7-Gs and Eliminators under the Sports Car Club program I would guess there is a good chance this came from Hertz.
