Thanks to everyone for the ideas, and Jim for the specifics - if you find out what the spray is let me know. The car supposedly has a new wiring harness, and it is mechanically well sorted. I do have some projects on my list for this winter to make it better.

Also good to know about color sanding versus hand rubbing. I know zero tricks, so I'll be making some consultations before I touch the paint!

I'll post some detailed pictures in my project blog this weekend so everyone can see exactly what I'm working with.

Thanks again for all the input! I bought it planning on restoration, but rapidly leaned towards preservation after driving the car, seeing people look at it, etc. I have put about 200 miles on it since I purchased it in mid-August!

Preservation it is!
