Hertz first introduced a custom Shelby Mustang as part of its “Rent-A-Racer” program in 1966, when Hertz and Carroll Shelby saw an opportunity to give everyday drivers and car enthusiasts a special experience: the chance to get behind the wheel of an high-performance vehicle. That year, the 1966 Shelby GT350-H, now a favorite of car collectors, was introduced. Ford supplied the Mustangs with V8 engines and mostly automatic transmissions, Shelby added extra performance and style and Hertz gave customers access to a unique driving experience. As a tribute to the original Rent-A-Racer, the companies teamed up in 2006 to produce the 40th anniversary edition 2006 Shelby GT-H. Today, these models are among the most sought-after collector cars in the world.
“We want to give Hertz customers a special experience this summer”, said Matt Jauchius, executive vice president and chief marketing officer at Hertz Global Holdings. “To mark the 50th anniversary of the Rent-A-Racer, we've joined forces with Ford and Shelby once again to introduce the 2016 Ford Shelby GT-H. We're thrilled to make this iconic vehicle available to our customers through the Hertz Andrenaline Collection.”
