The grandkids jumped on the hood and roof of my 1948 Studebaker. I popped out the dents with my hand (ouch). What is the best method to "iron-out" the creases ?

Use the grandkids butts to beat them back out....
Creases are not fun. To remove them completely your looking at a slapper paddle, dolly work and repaint.
ROTFLMAO! The perfect tool, and the perfect application
I think it's time for some grandkids to learn some basic bodywork skills... but seriously I don't know the answer to your question but if I were doing it myself I'd probably just use a hammer and dolly. Shrinking out creases from old dents is difficult, anyway, and I think you're probably looking at a repaint.

(kind of partial to Studebakers...)
I'd put a crease in the grandkids pants!

Hey Harry, you got any grands? I'm afraid I don't look at mine quite as I did my children. Maybe I should, tho', to try & avoid the spoilin'.:) s
Try Painless(?) dent removal. They're pretty good.
no kids, no grankids, no old lady, no pets, just two cars.

05 Park Avenue 91 Bonneville...and who claimed that Utopia was merely an imagined state? :) s
a simple rubber mallet would get the creases out but to be safe use a 2x4 cut out with it so it is not to chip the paint good luck...
