Great Photo!
The hood does look polished. Hard to tell but it looks like silver paint on the rest of the car. Of course it is the opposite now in black.
Where did you find the photo?

Here's the link :
Google Translate from Norwegian:
"The Lind family's Easter trip to France and Italy in 1936
Rolls Royce Phantom 1 Jonckheere Coupe. The Lind family traveled on an Easter trip to France and Italy in 1936. It is uncertain where this photograph was taken, but it may be from Monaco."
"The photograph is part of a photo series with motifs by the Lind family. Several of the male family members in the Lind family held senior positions in Østlandske Petroleumskompani (later Esso Norway). There are private photographs and portraits, photos of various facilities connected to Esso, trips they have been on in Norway and abroad. The photographs were probably taken by Knut Lind."

The (monstruous) front bumper is missing in the current version of the car, and that is just as well. To be quite frank I think that the bumper in the picture should be categorized as a "mistake" in the original design.
Nevertheless, - a unique car.
Modifying cars of unusual design is common. “Cleaning them up” to make them less circus wagon, and more sophisticated is a common ploy......to make them MORE valuable by removing excess design details that simply don’t fit then.......or now. The list of modified “great cars” is almost endless, and MUCH more common than thought.
Bob, Round Door Rolls is the casual moniker.
I think the bumper went missing decades ago.
