I've been going through some old photo files and this one, although it's been posted before, needed some updating and I felt a repost was necessary.
From Ertl Collectibles - Autoworld Series, issued in 2012. It's in Peacock Blue & Colonial White.
1956 Ford Fairlane Sunliner

I've chewed up many of these Ertl Fairlanes over the years - but kept a few modified versions for myself.
I must say.... these are among the best pics of this "old timer" I've ever seen! Considering the initial release was sometime in the 1990's, it still holds up and looks fantastic here! 😎 😎

What a great-looking Ford Fairlane in 1/18 from Ertl ! I have this Ertl in top-down form and it is a favorite. Beautifully done by Ford (and Ertl).

Love the Peacock Blue/ White combination. I have it in red/white with the Continental kit and red/black top down without the kit.

The Paeacock Blue/white combo suits the '56 Fairlane to a T.
