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.
