Remember that I’m OCD and into old cars, so I’m still working on this. :o

It seems definitely inspired by a Auburn–

Sadly no. It was on a random image site and was posted with no accompanying info.

The horizontal seams across the tail feel home built. Conversely the raised ridge along the fender has a factory built quality to it.

I’m wondering about the two ports on the back. The one on our left looks like a gas filling port but why two?

That’s what I thought about the ports. but they are mirror images and about at the same place as the taillights on a '35 Auburn. But we know which are for taillights in the second print. Back then having multiple gas tanks on your luxo-barge was cool. For my money the port on the left is real and the right one is phoney.

The fender is trying to kick in the door of a JC Whitney catalog from 50 years ago, back when you could build an entire Model T or A with what they or Warshawski (same catalog, different prices) carried. ISTR having had my sensibilities offended by that ridge. They had smooth for restorers and the ridge for rodders.
