Hertz Sports Car Club Membership Card

[rmarks]

Hi,

I just found my Hertz Sports Car Club membership card in the back of the desk drawer. #10533 if that means anything. It's a little scuffed from being carried in my wallet from when we could rent the beasts in the 60's; but is in pretty good shape with no chips or anything like that.

Could someone suggest what it might be worth and give suggestions on how for fairly sell it. I have a Pantera now.

Thanks,
Richard Marks

As for value.....it might be worth quite a bit!
I had a hertz sports car club jacket that sold for 960 on ebay i think, and that was because i wanted a quick sale. The past three jackets on ebay had sold for 1100-1200 on ebay.
Also, the last GT350H post card to sell sold for like 80 and that wasnt in very good condition.
Please post some pics!

Please post a picture/scan!

I'd love to get a good 300 dpi scan of that baby. I could restore it on my computer, and change the name for a keepsake gift for my dad, since he has a GT350H.

No telling how few of these could be left!

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

That's great - Thanks Richard! Can you tell me the dimensions of the card, please?

[rmarks]

The paper inside the plastic is almost exactly 3-1/2 x 2-1/4.

I've gotten several requests about selling it. I don't think I want to sell. It's kind of cool to keep for now.

[Bob Gaines]

Thank you very much for posting the picture it and the story are very cool.Tony Branda used to sell a repro of the card. I can't wait to dig it out and compare them. It might have to wait until I get back from SEMA.

Bob,

Did you ever get a chance to compare the original photos to a repop?
