The '68/'69 Royal Bobcats repeated that paint theme on other cars but colors varied. The most well-known has got to be the turquoise/white '69 shown at the bottom.
The upper photo looks like a different car?

Thanks to everyone for the replies!

Note that the '68 does not have the contrasting paint color along the lower flanks that the '69 has. The upper fender stripe differs as well, because it does not wrap around to follow the lower paint color.

It definitely would not have looked right with the bright rocker trim IMO.
