Base coat/clear coat - no
High solid enamel - not as part of the production process. There may be some sanding or buffing during a repair attempt of a specific area.
Lacquer - on some high end products there may have been buffing as part of the process but generally no, not since the 1930s or 1940s.
I'd say it is just too slow and labor intensive for the high volume mentality of the 1950s and 1960s.
