Yes, back in the day
From Wikipedia.
"In 1966, Hertz engaged racing and automotive designer
Carroll Shelby to develop an exclusive version of his modified
Ford Mustang.
[53] The objective was to attract more customers to Hertz and the Hertz fleet would tempt car renters to buy a Mustang or a Shelby-Mustang.
[54] One thousand
GT350H Mustangs were built as rental cars, although urban legend also maintains that many were missing original engines when returned.
[55] The "Rent-a-Racer" program was available in selected locations during the late 1960s for a limited time. The fleet has included
Corvettes,
Jaguar XK-Es, and
AMC AMXs.
[53] Hertz reintroduced the program in 2016.
[56]"
With regard to the last sentence of the quote, this:

So presumably only classics before they became or become classics.
