Re: 56 clipper fender skirts

I believe the original material was a fabric anti squeak rather than rubber but could be in error on that. Also think it was stapled to top edge of skirt, not the fender. This is a cut from www.restorationspecialties.com showing their product. They also have a multitude of other items --clips, misc hard to find things, etc and is well worth a download of their catalog.
It sounds as if you are missing a capture nut as the holding bolt screws in from bottom into a welded nut on my car. Motor City Packards reproduces fender skirt nuts for 48-54 but one of the experts will have to tell you the differences--head size maybe-- since it isn't also mentioned for 55-6. The nice thing about a bolt as shown is the large head allows you to use the lug wrench to remove instead of looking for another wrench and SS or brass won't rust and break or tear the welded nut out when removing.
