Damn this thing is hot. What is that on the door? Is it leather?

I've never seen a roof like that. It's perfect.

Just paint. I think it's just the shape and the matte paint that's throwing you off.

Yeah could be. The bottom of the door looks like piping.

That would be leatherette stretched tight over a wood frame, the standard method for building lightweight car bodies in the '20s and '30s.

It looks nice.

Quite classy. They were referred to as Weymann bodies, after the coachbuilding firm that patented the process. Some cars used real leather instead of leatherette, but it wasn't as practical for rain.

The padded vinyl roofs that were all the rage in the Malaise Era were trying to imitate that look.

Spare tire ruining the aerodynmics aside, that is one of the best Bentley's I've seen in my life Blondude. Is there more?
