Gas Tank Filler Neck?

[kitkong]

Hey......I got a stupid question............

Can anyone tell me why the Gas tank filler neck is positioned behind/inside the left rear tail light housing?

How did Cadillac intend for owner's to access it?

Are we supposed to have complete set of power tools/screw drivers handy whenever we pull into a gas station?

I own a 56' Hearse, and there doesn't seem to be any kind of mechanism to within the rear tail light housing designed to assist in accessing the filler neck.

How is this done?

The Tailight should lift up to give you access, like this...
