another so cal newbie

Great car! Is there any possibility of saving/ touching up the original paint? I know everyone wants shiny paint but there’s a lot of history that original cars like yours can tell.

There's not much original paint left, the right side door and rear 1/4 have primer on them, I remember he got dinged in the 1/4 back in the 60s but don't know about the door. Almost all the paint is gone on the top, hood and trunk. I'm thinking of putting it as close as I can to when I was a kid.
