I think DMs 1941 Cadillac also has something in the back that lifts to expose the cap
It's been awhile since I've seen my model, but I could swear the chrome lifts up or something !

I keep jogging my memory of gassing these beasts - 59 Pontiac had a trapdoor under the trunk lock and 58 chevies had a movable panel below the trunk opening
