Vintage Photo 1966 Hertz GT350H Shelby at a Rental Facility
« on: January 15, 2021, 10:31:53 PM »
Here's a vintage photo that I picked up showing a black '66 Hertz GT350H Shelby at a rental facility.  Notice the signs in the upper right portion of the photo.  The first white one reads "Hertz Car Club of America Champion Class B" (not sure about the Class B part).  Second sign starts with "Rally Stripes" but I can't read the rest.  The third sign reads "Cobra-ized Engine, 4 Barrel Carb, Kelsey-Hayes Discs, Goodyear Bluestreaks".  The last red sign reads "Like Lemans".  These would look great hanging from a wall in my garage!  I also like the front license plate.  It's fun to dissect the details of these vintage photos.  Enjoy!

Craig,

Great photos, thanks for posting!

I believe the first sign reads ""Sports Car Club of America Champion Class B", can't make out the second sign after "Rally Stripes"...

Obscured sign could say TERMINAL, so it's probably at an airport. LAX?

You are so right, Dave!  It does read "Sports".  Thanks for catching that.  It was a long day yesterday!

It looks like it says Rexall ( like the drug store chain). on either side of TERMINAL
