That cleaned up well, but I’m not convinced that those tires are OEM though the rims look to be close replicas. I say close since 265/30R x 18” tires had an extended order period in circa 1915, like maybe 90 years.
I’ve read how in recent years antique car enthusiasts prefer to leave damaged but original equipment on their cars rather than using replicas. I guess it’s a losing battle as time and rust slowly win the war.

It would be interesting to see a before picture.
