I have taken the liberty of making up my own "period look alike". The shell and bezel need some repair work and chrome plating. When finished it should not look out of place but may offend some people.

I had 2 of these, both NOS. 1 is in the possession of the preeminent Auburn historian and the other is on a car I hope to see at Auburn this year(hint hint)
Don't know if 810-812 Cord had 1 or not.

Stan comments on just how rare the Reversing Light is as he had not seen one.
It's amazing what eventually turns up.

The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

The L29s were assembled in Auburn in the building now occupied by the NATMUS Museum.
Where were the Buehrig designed Auburn Speedsters assembled???
Curt I took this picture back in 2015, I assume it's your Auburn.

Basically, no known factory period photos with a speedster with chrome wire wheels or also without wheel disks (ie. all factory period speedster photos have chrome wheel disks over painted spoke wire wheesls)
Did you get 5 wheel disk and trinm rings (I do not know). Is there such thing as chrome wire wheels (yes, a few rare photos exist of cars new with chrome wires - but no known photos on a speedster) ?
The chrome wheels were adjustable spoke variety, but they did have the technology to chrome a welded spoke wire wheel - I know of a 34 Cadillac V-16 with factory welded spoke chrome whire wheels).

The building with the saw tooth roof behind the truck is still there in West 18th Street. The roof line was modified a long time ago.

I've seen Ema's factory promo photos of the '31 898 and there are ww on them as well.
My question: none of these photos show chrome spoked wheels. Were they available? How many cars were equipped with them originally?
