Three-tone was not available as a standard production option for anything but Caribbean. However, the factory has been known to make a few (documented) exceptions, with special dispensation.
More likely, someone added the black lower color, as a matter of personal preference, during a later paint touch-up. The middle color, as shown in your photos, looks like Rose Quartz (Code U), but that color was, technically, available on Caribbean only. My gut feeling is that this car was originally painted in White Jade (Code N) and Sardonyx (Code R).
Your interior looks to be authentic - likely, Trim Set/Code 40.
Codes from the body tag will tell the original tale.
Along these lines, you might want to download the
1955 Dealer Showroom Album from the site's archive - a rare piece, with lots of good info.
Meanwhile, it looks like someone borrowed the trunk ornament (if not entire lid) from a Senior car.
Regardless, it's a good looking car. Glad to see another one turn up in Pennsyltucky.
