Agree with NYGTO.

Rule of thumb on a car with Factory Paint.
Possibly the use of a clay bar to remove dead paint and then high quality wax.

You will risk ruining that 55 year old Survivor paint with wet sanding and buffing, plus ruining the pinstripe.
The topside of Original lacquer paint typically has some checking, but that’s a trademark of a Survivor.

It’s your car but I would preserve what’s there now and enjoy.

PS, what is the Powertrain in this car ???
