You could buy one of the those large poster frames, and just use the clear plastic to wrap the tail light section. One good good 3x6 foot poster frame should do it.

I'm curious what the structural requirements of a boat tail are. I tend to over think, and would go for a much heavier construction (some might even think aluminum would be required). But you seem to have done it, first using only cardboard, and then secondly using a light minimal 1x1inch wood frame. I guess a boat tail is shielded from the wind by the car, and only really needs to deal with vacuum pressure and the wind speed parallel to it. Can you share your insight on this?
