Maroon and Ivory conventional Two-Tone with a Red Custom interior.

545 breaks down as 515 Vermillion Poly (Ditzler 71581) and 526 Ivory (Ditzler 8290).

Don't have a Two-Tone picture but this is very representative of the base color.

To clarify, It (code 545) had an ivory roof and a maroon body. The Special Two-Tone scheme (white roof and rockers) was not offered as a general option in 68. However the code 551, 50th Anniversary Gold trucks featured an ivory roof and rockers.

The front end was painted silver on the early trucks and ivory on the late 68s (except white trucks).
