Some ideas are good enough to repeat, even four decades later. Brad Bowling, author of Ford Mustang, shares an unusual partnership between Shelby and Hertz rental car.

  

In 1966, Carroll Shelby sold 1,001 of his Mustang-based GT-350 fastbacks to the Hertz rental car agency for use in its Sports Car Club. This very unusual fleet sale accounted for nearly 40 percent of that year's Shelby production.  

 

Many of the Hertz cars were painted black with gold stripes and fitted with manual transmissions, but records show they were made in other colors and that most cars were shipped with automatic transmissions. The 306-horsepower 289-cubic-inch V-8 probably made many travelers consider buying either a Shelby or standard Mustang.

Dear ASD,

Art of the Harely-Davidson
It's starting to get a little chilly up here in the Northland, but that doesn't mean that there aren't plenty of gorgeous fall days ahead for a bike ride. And when winter does finally arrive, you'll be able to stay in touch with the saddle via our latest release, Art of the Harley-Davidson Motorcycle - Deluxe Edition.
 

Photographer David Blattel treats every photo shoot as a work of art. When his subjects are the works of art produced by the motorcycling maestros from Milwaukee, the results are doubly beautiful. This book pulls together the best of Blattel's Harley-Davidson portraiture - over 100 stunning machines - resulting in a breathtaking review of Harley-Davidson's greatest hits from the early 1900s to today. Harley-Davidson expert Dain Gingerelli puts each machine in historical and technical context with informed profiles. The result is a handsome, informative overview of Harley-Davidson's 100-plus years of style and innovation. This deluxe edition sports a special leather-look cover, poster-sized gatefolds, and frameable garage art in an internal envelope.
