Two months after filing for bankruptcy protection, Hertz finally has a plan in place to attempt to stay afloat until 2021. To appease lenders and maintain future business, it will unload nearly 200,000 of the manufacturer's total leased vehicles, numbering under 500,000.

The long-awaited bulk sale of 182,521 cars will take place over the course of the rest of the year, with a deadline set for December 31st, in order to fund an agreed $650 million in other lease-related debts. The number is a step up from the 144,000-car shedding Hertz had proposed last month, but leaves the company with a large enough fleet to maintain a viable business when it emerges from bankruptcy into a world that will, hopefully, involve enough routine travel for rental cars to be a viable business enterprise.

A question came up on the 1970 Coronet 440 posted in the eBay section concerning it's brakes. The 440 came standard with 10.5 x 2.5 inch drum brakes. RPO B11 was HD brakes, the same drum brakes standard in the Super Bee and R/T. They are 11 x 3 front and 10.5 x 2.5 inch rear. It was a $22.65 option.

Though Front Disc Brakes (B41) were only $5 more than B11, they required the power booster which was another $42.95
