My guess is a '56 Mercury 4drht.....although a Forum member noted that the front seat and door panels are for a 2dr. Could just be a prototype mock up though.....or not.
IF it is that Merc then I vote for these colors (below) as one of the 2 choices Sergio usually provides us. Something a bit different!
Persimmon and London Grey Poly.
I judged a 1956 Mercury four door hardtop at a show in Monroe, La several years ago. The car had factory A/C and is the only one I have seen in person.

Back in the day (1964) my girlfriend's parents drove a '56 Mercury Monarch Richelieu 4drht. exactly like this one; it was a really nice car. Monarch is a Canadian offering as most Forumites know. Note the grille & trim differences compared to the orange/white Mercury pic.
In any configuration, this one will be great ! It's a really good-looking car and Goldvarg will undoubtedly do a superb job. In 1/18, the SunStar 1956 Mercury looks fantastic, so this would also be treat in 1/43.
@mg-harv The 2Dr. HT version of this model is one I expected to see from Goldvarg for some time as IMHO it would be a sales success. Although I am, for this reason, surprised to see what appears to be a 4Dr. HT suggested by Sergio, if it turns out to be just that then I look forward to buying it.
@mg-harv I have the Madison hardtop in Persimmon and white along with their convertible in black/ white top down. I also have the Goldvarg white metal model in Turquoise and white. The four door hardtop Phaeton would be a welcome addition for me.
