Don't forget your history guys - the black & gold scheme was part of the GT350 sales pitch and harkened back to day 1 at hertz when they added gold pinstripes to their Model Ts.
Also don't downplay the fact that Hertz sold/lost a lot of driving stock in their recent BK.
And never lose sight the pure and simple fact that Mark Fields was shown the door at Ford and is now interim CEO at Hertz.
I don't think he's looking for ways to help Ford sell cars since the sales slump under his watch was one of the big reasons he was allowed to retire.
