Casting reference

Mercury Cyclone Stock Car

This casting was based on a 1970 Mercury Cyclone stock car. The casting was ultimately not released as it was said to be too similar to that of the Olds 442; one brass prototype and two resin prototypes are known to exist, all in the hands of private collectors. The Mercury Cyclone Stock Car has come out in the following 1/64 scale versions:
