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

Blessed are those who can call those "Black and Gold  Bad Boys" their own

Amen Hallelujah!
When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.
