New Release 1956 Ford Sunliner
Hemmings has an ad from Hamilton Collection for 1956 Ford Sunliner in Black 1/18 for $149.95.
Other than the color, is there any reason to think this is not simply another release of the Ertl 1956 Sunliners of the 90's in a rainbow of colors?

Answered my own question
Looked at comparatives under neath, both models the old and the new have ERTL clearly stamped on the chassis. Appear to be identical!! Maybe should buy up the Ertls at a few bucks and re-paint black! Make sure if you do that it has the continental kit.

The car is a standard issue Autoworld re release of the original Ertl car. The Hamilton price is absolute ROBBERY! I got one of those exact cars for a good friend of mine who doesn't have a computer for I think $80.00 shipped off eBay. Nice car...... like the other ones. I think this one might have more detail, like carpeting but never will be worth $150.00. Be careful out there.
