Pin stripes on new cars [translation] stickers added by dealers for $200 to $300 of gross profit. I'm not aware of any manufacturers that put them on. IMO they only belong on classic cars when trying to stay period correct.
As do I. I'm also from Alamo Town and lived there back then. No worries on the pin stripes and if you like them just replace them. If not you know how to remove the remainders.
How were these pin stripes applied? I'm trying to imagine a type that would come off during the polishing process and not be noticed.
I had a dealer add some truly tacky stripes during a dealer trade (long story) on my Mazda. They were made of some cheap vinyl material that peeled away from the body. I think I'd notice something like that coming off while polishing since it would make a bug mess.

They were on the truck when I bought it, new, in 2013.

I was stationed at Ft. Sam on and off from 1973 until 1980. Great times at Canyon Lake
The Riverwalk didn't look so good back then!
I'm just ignoring the pinstripes for now
