Isn't this just a reprise of the covered wagon?

More like a reprise of the biplane (BMW started as an aircraft engine maker way back in the day).

Did anybody else think of Porco Rosso when seeing this car?

Isn't the roof on, say, a 1980s Lincoln done like this? Or is that just fabric covering metal?
