I remember getting those when I rented at MCO/TPA. (Or the Merc equivalent, Grand Marquis.)

Maybe the Sables were a more northern thing? Crown Vics were absolutely useless in snow. I got Sables at MCI (where I got to know a few of the employees over the years) and maybe ORD... Sables may have been more early 90s than late 90s too. Eventually Hertz started getting a little more diversity in the fleet.
