Don't know what it is or is not, but repairing the lettering leaves you with only a few choices. Leave it as is. Or remove the loose decal parts and mix paint to match and hand paint what is missing(I have seen people do this and was amazed at how good it looked). If you wanted to keep it as original as possible but look nice, remove the loose decal parts, clean the car with soapy water, spray the car with clear to seal what is left, and then try to find another set of the same decals to reapply over the top of the old ones(Decals almost have to be Walthers or Champ?).
Or you could just strip the car, add some detail, and repaint it...
