Looking for what paint codes would have been available for a 4 door , 2 tone Savoy. I have a black and white photo only, and it looks like white and an off white?

Oh that book is amazing! And Swatches for the interior too!!! Both the car I want the finished rebuild to look like (the Police Car in the photo above) and the one I am looking at are Canadian, so maybe someone has that same book like you have but for the '55. Thank you so much!

If you go looking for photos of 1955 Plymouth police cars, you are more than likely to find Plazas and not Savoys (and almost definitely not Belvederes with the fancy side trim):
Something like these:
Plaza V8:
Savoy (with Plaza-like trim):
"Savoy" but looks like Plaza trim:
Belvedere V8 but again very plain "Plaza" type trim:

Thanks 56D500boy
Those are great shots, but the first photo is an actual picture of the Police car from here. So Savoy trim for sure.

From the list I assume the most likely option on the top car would be paint code 716 with the Palm Beach Gray upper and Ivory bottom, but it still looks like it would be too dark? Wonder if Canadian versions were different?
