Simple question this time, what would be a good color to paint this car? My dad was thinking like a black cherry pearl or something like that I can't remember

I'm painting my 1960 chevy el camino "Dodge Viper Red". It looks good on older vehicles. Just do what you like.

For the highest resale value paint it the original color. Next highest value would be a stock color. Lowest resale value is a custom color.

Those cars looked great in red or black. The darker colors will show any imperfections / ripples in the bodywork more that lighter colors.
Chrysler had a nice black cherry pearl in the late 1980's - early 1990's that was used on the mini vans. It had a nice pearl effect and was surprising easy to color match repairs.
