Who can guess where the fuel fill is on the big American Cadillac?

Does one of the taillights flip up exposing the gas fill?

Recall a car with fins that does that but not sure if it was factory or customized.

That was a trick on several other GM cars of the period too.
Granted a bit off topic, but it was not just GM - https://www.theautopian.com/todays-taillights-the-forgotten-trend-of-hiding-gas-fillers-behind-taillights/

As a prize, Aslam gets to fill the car with fuel, and pay for it. ;)

I would fill it up, if could drive that land yacht around the track till it was on fumes — can probably carry the pagoda in the trunk!
