Re: Hertz Sports Car Club Membership Card

I got the card in early 1966 on a job interview to California. I rented a White with Blue stripes GT350H. Not the Black with Gold! Being a college student it was a really cool experience; the car was great.

Nine months later, now hired and on a business trip, I rented another one in Philadelphia. This was Black and Gold. It had had the strong Shelby motor, but had been used a bit and pulled badly to one side. Very unpleasant. Pulled so badly that my boss, a little Japanese guy, could not drive it. Filed a money back complaint with Hertz and they said that they could find nothing wrong. I figure this lack of ability to maintain the cars probably eventually hurt rentals. I wonder when Hertz stopped renting them?

Regards,
Richard
