About the Mercury Montclair #14 B. Myers Palm Beach Winner 1956 Sun Star 1:18

TL;DR: Sun Star's 1:18 diecast Mercury Montclair reproduces B. Myers's 1956 Palm Beach-winning car #14, with opening doors and bonnet. This is a used example, box showing traces of storage, model itself intact. A characterful slice of 1950s American touring history.

The Montclair was Mercury's chrome-heavy flagship of the mid-1950s, and its appearance on early stock circuits shows how closely American touring racing of the era stuck to showroom bodywork.

Opening Panels and Diecast Detail on the Sun Star Montclair

The doors and bonnet open on hinges that settle cleanly rather than swinging loose, letting a collector examine the period-correct dashboard, bench seating and straight-six engine bay beneath. That level of cabin access suits a car whose original appeal was as much about lounge-like comfort as speed. The zinc-alloy body carries genuine weight, appropriate for a full-size 1950s American saloon, and the chrome trim along the grille and side spears is rendered with a bright, distinct finish that catches the light convincingly. Racing number 14 and period sponsor markings are applied with clean registration, a detail that matters on a subject built around its exact competition livery. Being a used example, this model has seen prior handling; its box shows traces of storage from time on a shelf, while the casting and its printed detail remain unaffected.

A Distinctive Entry for Early American Touring Collections

Regional touring racing in 1950s America ran production-based cars largely as sold, which is exactly what makes the Montclair's racing livery over stock coachwork so appealing to collectors of the period. At roughly 26cm, its long, low bodywork suits a shelf of full-size American classics rather than a compact European lineup. Displayed among other regional touring entries from the same decade, this Montclair adds genuine variety, standing apart from the more familiar Corvettes and Mustangs that dominate most American racing displays.
