Default Today's dumb question: Factory 1980 door panels - are they leather or vinyl?

I'm considering purchasing new door panels from The Last Detail, but the vendor description lists the door panels as vinyl. If they were originally leather, I'd prefer to stay with that.

The only leather in your car is in the center panels of the seats (assuming you don't have cloth). Even the seat bolsters are vinyl!

If your cars have leather trimmed door panels, they are not original. :yesnod:
