Hertz Joins Up With CARSTAR on 2010 Super'Stang Muscle Tour
Hertz Donates Limited-Edition 2007 Ford Shelby GT-H Mustang to National Car Enthusiast Tour

PARK RIDGE, NJ, Jun 02, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --The Hertz Corporation (NYSE: HTZ) announced today it will join CARSTAR, the largest group of branded collision repair centers in North America, to promote the 2010 CARSTAR Super'Stang Muscle Tour. As part of the partnership, Hertz donated a limited edition 2007 Shelby GT-H Mustang convertible -- produced by Carroll Shelby exclusively for Hertz -- which will accompany CARSTAR's rebuilt 1967 'Super'Stang' on the tour. At the conclusion of the tour, CARSTAR will hold an online sweepstakes where one lucky enthusiast will win the GT-H that was donated by Hertz.

"By joining CARSTAR and its Super'Stang tour, Hertz is able to reach out to consumers in the local market, showcasing Hertz's diversified fleet and the excitement you experience when driving one of the cars in Hertz's Fun Collection. The Hertz Fun Collection is a great way to add something special to one's journey and what better way to make a statement than arriving at a destination in a fun, sporty car," said Robert Stuart, Hertz Senior Vice President, Global Sales.

In 1966, The Hertz Corporation and Carroll Shelby produced 1,000 Shelby Mustangs, making the high-performance, special-edition car available for rent. To celebrate the 40th anniversary, in 2006, Hertz introduced the Shelby GT-H Mustang hardtop and, in 2007, a convertible was introduced. 500 GT-H Mustang hardtops and 500 convertibles were produced by Shelby to be showcase cars of the Hertz Fun Collection -- a unique line of fun, sporty cars that can turn a regular car rental into an exciting driving experience. The CARSTAR Super'Stang is the recreation of a unique 1967 Shelby Super'Stang Mustang created by the Ford Motor Company but never marketed to the public. Jeff Yerkovich, owner of R&A Motorsports, the country's leading restorer of Shelby Mustangs, oversaw and supported the renovation of the vehicle.

Car enthusiasts are encouraged to visit the tour stops to view Hertz's and CARSTAR's unique, one-of-a-kind Mustangs. Throughout the tour, Hertz will host a Twitter Picture Contest where attendees can tweet pictures in front of the Shelby GT-H to be entered into a contest to win a free weekend rental from their local Hertz branch.*

The tour kicked off at the Shelby Fest in Herman, MO, and will make appearances at automobile shows and community events across the country, including:

  • JUNE 12: CARSTAR Soap it Up Denver, CO
  • JULY 15: CARSTAR Golf Tournament Seattle, WA
  • AUGUST 9: Northwest Indiana CARSTAR Golf Tournament, IN
