Not sure the name of your colour, but if it's the same
paint we had here it may have originally been a salmon
colour but faded... two tones were certainly available
in the States, tho ZA might have done that differently
(for example, there was a brief period where Australia
only offered two tones on cars with automatic
gearboxes; this strange restriction was more prevalent
on Fords than MoPars). Anyway, your Savoy could have a
different colored top, a different colored lower body
from about the middle of the front door back (this is
called "Sportone" in Plymouth ad-speak), or both. This
would not have been offered from the factory as a
3-tone even tho Dodges and a few Chryslers were.
I believe Canadian-sourced Savoys were even offered
with the more elaborate Belvedere Sportone trim, tho
this might have also been limited to certain body
styles and engine options. I know the Canadian Dodge
Regent (a Savoy equivalent) was offered with Mayfair
(Belvedere equivalent) trim, but I think only as a 2dr
hardtop. I will defer to Bill Watson's far greater
knowledge of all things Canadian since this is all
stuff I'm not certain of.
