The two-tone color scheme, the styling, and all the chrome.  This is one eye-catching automobile.  WOW!  

MERCURY'S top-of-the-line MONCLAIR HARDTOP COUPE sold brand new for $2.765.  It was the most popular Mercury for '56 and it saw 50,562 roll off the assembly line. 

56 Merury (black & yellow) (2018 04 22 18 24 22 UTC)

@jack-dodds, I'd give up one of my kids for it.  Smile

 

 

Just kidding!!!  But it is my favorite two-tone combination on 50's cars.

What a beautiful car ! One of my SunStar '56 Mercs is a convertible in these same colors but in a reversed scheme of yellow over black.

@brush, all the color combos were magnificent.  That was the beauty of the two-tone paint and chrome era.
