The most recent Shelby Registry mentions 8 different race tracks found on the Hertz Sports Car Club cocktail glasses. The ones mentioned that I have never come across or seen are Kent & Sebring. Does anyone own one of these glasses? Also, I was under the impression that these came in boxes of 6. As these were giveaways would a box contain just one type of glass or 6 different ones? If the latter were true, it would make more sense that there were only 6 different glasses offered. Any comments/opinions?

Yes, I've wondered about that stuff too.
A couple images I got either from the crashed SAAC website or a e-bay listing...
If you had rented, from Hertz, a GT350, you received, a memorabilia, Hertz item.
In my case, I received, a Hertz Sports Car Club Trophy Glass. It has the Watkins Glen
Race Track outline on it.
I wrote anarticle about my experience with a '66 Hertz GT350, in the 2012 Spring issue
of the Shelby American, page 138.

Doug,
I went back and read, or should I say most likely reread, the Article that you wrote on your Hertz experience. Great story.
As I began the read your story, my thoughts were could this have been my car that I have owned since October 1967; however I noted that you described the car as blue/gold, (mine being black/gold) so I checked my records for how many of these were delivered to Los Angeles.
Los Angeles received only six blue/gold GT350H and I have license plate numbers on three of these. The blue cars were received between 2/10/66 and 3/10/66. All most likely were pretty much identical.
When I get home I will check the Registry to see if there are any current owners listed for these cars.
If someone has a Registry handy, I will post the numbers here.
Wouldn't it be amazing if we could determine the actual car you rented for the week.
