The old paint was Glasurit lacquer and it was brilliant when new, but with time lacquers fade. There might not be enough "thickness" to the paint to be able to color buff and work out the fading. Any good cleaning might take it down to the primer and then you are left with two choices, leave it the way it is or undertake a paint job. Old cars have a certain patina to them, but there comes a time when you have to make a decision. For me I made my choice years ago of stripping the car down to bare metal. A divorce and trying to save the car from going to the wrecker under her lawyers insistence I remove the car asap from the property, has left me with the car in my garage, in the same state as it was...bare metal. If you start, be sure you are committed to finishing the project.
