1950 "Auburn Vanderbundt", which started out as a Seagrave Fire Engine. Builder: Wil Anders

Very similar to one of the "Blastolene" series of cars which was also based on this type of fire engine (and at first, that's what car I thought it was).

Correct!
A huge car...not bad after all!
Another well deserved point for you!

I've actually got more than a few miles under my belt on the type of fire engines these cars were both made from . . . the Syracuse Fire Department had some, and here are two of them on their way to auction after long and useful careers. Who knows, maybe some of their parts ended up in one or both of these hot rods!
