Title: Coloured GT350H Cars --- any publication from 65/66 known ?
Post by: Szabo on September 25, 2020, 03:20:48 PM
Hello,

i asked me if there was any publication from coloured Hertz Cars was on a Magazin, Newspaper
or so ... was this coloured one known to the public ???

I know that it stand nearly 800 black to 200 coloured cars but what this only a production
thing and on one point Hertz says: Go back to black

(SAI itself has it recorded by production data code ? )

sorry when it is a almost known fact and i dont know it right

Here a Pic from 1.18 Modelcars

That picture appears not to be from the 60's and may be toy/model cars positioned for the picture

Higher resolution would make identification easier or maybe that is what the original poster was intending

That image may have been taken by Greg K '66 Hertz Registrar of scale models to illustrate the colors

There's this one, but not officially from Shelby.

Somewhere I have a higher res version of that pic and made notes there are actually 6, possibly 7, blue/gold LeMans stripe cars in the photo.  There are also 2 blue, and 4 white 66 GT350's w/o LeMans stripes. I assume they are Hertz cars but can't see any side stripe details. Didn't see any black cars.
