I have a 1966 Shelby GT350H that was involved in a special Hertz early-1966 promotion for the National Ski Patrol, who were having their annual convention in Denver that year. It has a special National Ski Patrol badge that Hertz put on the rear panel of the car to designate it as one of the rentals they had in Denver for that promo.
A guy I talked with some time back told me that, years ago, he had seen a short article about the promo with a small picture of a couple of skiers (at Vail?) and a GT350H. He thought he'd seen it in one of the Marque or Shelby American issues. Unfortunately, a guy who contacted me thru SAAC has a complete collection of both of those magazines and had no luck locating the article. He did say that it frustrated him, though, because he swears he remembers seeing an article like that SOMEWHERE. Makes me wonder if it could even have been in an early '66 Hot Rod or Rod & Custom magazine or something like that.
But actually, I'm looking for anyone with ANY kind of information. People who may have taken pictures of any of those cars at Vail, Keystone, etc., at the time? Or people who remember seeing those cars or remember hearing about that promotion. I'd definitely appreciate any information anyone might have.
Thanks!
