Frank, great car! I have the exact same model. Does it have a gear start Ultramatic or the regular Ultramaic? (2 indents on the selector before and after the "D") Also can you tell us the 4 digits on the firewall tag after the 5492 (5492-XXXX). That will tell us where your car was in the production run.
Also are you aware that your car has a 51-52 Grille, and not the normal '54 Junior grille?
Here is a picture of a '54 Clipper Deluxe Grille. It has the large parking lights instead of the "bullseye" lights. Also the grill guard extends back through the grille with a grey sheet metal filler panel. One other thing that is unique to the '54 Clipper Deluxes and Supers (not the Specials), is the flutted piece that wraps around the side of the fender between the bumper and the grille extension. That is a one-year only feature.
