If their touch-up paint is base/clear, then it WON'T match the factory paint system (color could be correct though.) I don't believe anyone used a base/clear paint system back in the '50's.

I agree with Kevin. GM was using primer with a topcoat of nitrocellulose lacquer made by Dupont (Duco). Basecoat/ clearcoat process didn’t exist back then and it wouldn’t match as Kevin pointed out.
