Hawk,
Good to see you on Day one. The 73 Duster overheated badly near Augusta and the water pump seized on me, so I called in my rescue ride. Had a great time through the first couple days, but the 6 hour parade out of Atlanta was rough on the old Slant 6. Definitely doing next year. Here...

From the picture those look like Road wheels with trim rings.

Older paint is different than modern paints. While I would normally recommend Meguiars fine cut cleaner, I would start with Meguiars #7 polish. It works on older paints by imparting oils back into the paint. Do a search on it and you will find it is pretty much the last real old paint polish...
