Title: 60 years ago today Jan 6, 1966

Hi all,

Sixty years ago today, both the Hertz Corporation and Shelby American made a coordinated press release to announce the introduction of the GT350H, Rent-a-Racer.  "... 1000 Shelby GT 350's will be shortly available for daily rental exclusively from Hertz."  Attached is the Shelby American press release along with a few other related pieces of literature, including a rate schedule for the G.T 350-H.  The Stapleton airport postcard was not a Hertz Corporation produced piece of literature, it shows a car being advertised for rent back in the day.
Take care
Cory
