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 carries the #14 B. Myers 1956 Palm Beach-winning livery, with opening doors revealing the period cabin. This is a used example; the box shows storage marks while the model itself is unaffected. A rounded 1950s American racer for an early stock-car theme.

Mid-1950s American touring racing ran full-size passenger cars nearly as delivered, and the Montclair's chrome-heavy bulk made it an unusual sight on a race track. Sun Star's diecast preserves that period character at 1:18.

Diecast Weight and Period Detail

The zinc alloy body gives this Montclair a substantial feel that suits its real-world bulk, and the opening doors expose a cabin trimmed to reflect the era's minimal roll-cage safety standards rather than a modern race interior. Chrome trim across the grille and side spears is picked out with the crisp edges diecast tooling holds well, and the racing number and period sponsor graphics sit cleanly against the body color. Panel gaps around the opening doors stay consistent with the rest of the shell, a sign of careful tooling on a subject with this much brightwork to align.

An Early Stock-Car Racer for the Shelf

Full-size American sedans racing on ovals and street circuits in the mid-1950s represent one of the earliest chapters of American stock-car culture, well before the purpose-built machines that followed, and a Palm Beach-winning livery ties this piece to a specific regional touring series result rather than a generic paint job. As a used example, the box shows storage marks while the model itself remains intact, an honest condition to expect on a piece that has already had a home on someone's shelf. At 1:18 the Montclair's rounded, chrome-laden shape stands apart from later, more aerodynamic stock cars, giving it genuine novelty value on a 1950s American racing shelf. Displaying it alongside period road-going Mercurys underscores how little separated the race car from the showroom car in this era, which is much of its appeal.
