Bill, my car definitely doesn't have a plastic covering and its veneer is very original. The original finish has shrunk into the wood and you can see the wood's grain lightly showing through on the surface. I know what you are talking about re: the plastic covering and I'm now wonder whether or not some cars had it and others didn't.
It's good we have some real woodworkers reading this who know about refenishing. I can do a little, but I'm not an expert.
