Newbie with a 65 Cutlass

I just bought a 1965 Cutlass Sport Coupe, UHC 330cid, 4 spd, 3.90:1 Auburn Posi, bucket seat, console car, built by GM of Canada, 1 of 1759 built. The car was ordered by/for Hertz Motors out of Saskatchewn.
Does anyone know anything about 'Hertz Motors Ltd'. I've heard this car was ordered for drag racing by Hertz, but don't know what that means.
I do know, from 'stuff' still welded to the frame and rear end that it was drag raced. It's in unbelievable original condition otherwise.

I'd appreciate any info anyone may have on Hertz Motors Ltd.

Also besides this forum (which is very good and I frequent every day) there's a 64/65 specific forum at this thread:

Between this forum and the other you'll find 100% of your needs.

Nice looking car. It is great shape. The seats in '65 did not have head rest, but I have no idea about what they did in Canada. Also the seat pattern reminds me of Pontiac, but again i'm not sure what was done up there. The chebby wheels have to go.

The car from Northern Alberta...Nice to see someone get it...had been for sale for a while but I have never seen it personally...If I didnt already have two I would have checked it out. Didnt need the temptation

...seats are incorrect but who cares...nice looking car.. where are you from Vetteman ?
