Initiated in March 2006, the Hertz Fun Collection was always intended to feature "fun-to-drive" vehicles, such as the Nissan 350Z, PT Cruiser, Miata and Wrangler. When Vice President of Hertz Worldwide Fleet Operations Walt Seaman was looking for a special vehicle to be the focal point of the Fun Collection in 2005, he found just the idea he was looking for in a 1966 Shelby GT350H displayed proudly in the lobby of the Hertz Headquarters. Looking back upon Hertz’s GT350H “Rent A Racer” program, Seaman approached Ford Motor Company about producing 500 Mustang GT coupes to commemorate the program that had started 40 years ago, his original thoughts including some simple cosmetic changes, like the trademark gold stripes. However, as luck would have it, Seaman would soon find out Ford was already working with Shelby American to develop a special car. Hertz, Shelby and Ford met, and in less than 90 days developed the Shelby GT-H Program. What started as a black 2006 Mustang GT coupe was then shipped to Shelby American in Las Vegas for some fairly significant upgrades, such as a new front fascia, hood, side air scoops and a Ford Racing Performance Package. The parts used to modify the car were all numbered Ford pieces—the front fascia and side scoops, for example, were sourced from a future Ford model dubbed the “California Edition”—the exception being the Shelby hood, making replacement parts readily available from Ford. The GT-H was introduced to the world at the New York Auto Show in April 2006, and the used rental units were sold exclusively to Ford dealers at closed auctions. Shelby produced 496 automatic units for the Hertz rental fleet, of which 20 were purchased by Hertz executives and never rented. The remaining four Mustang GTs came with a manual transmission and a factory 18-inch wheel package, slightly large in comparison to the 17-inch wheels offered on the automatic variations. The four 5-speed manual transmission units were never rented. While CSM No. 06H001 went to Carroll Shelby and two others went to Hertz vice presidents, the one-of-four car offered here is CSM No. 06H002, the very same Mustang previously owned by Seaman.
