Perhaps they used a quarter panel off of a '54 Clipper as they used the same taillights without the reverse light.

Wasn't there a thread about this car before, or am I suffering from dejavu?

JT, why do you think it is a Custom 5562 instead of a Deluxe 5542? How can you tell from the photos? The reason I ask is that I am somewhat new to the V-8s and would appreciate any information on how to accurately identify the different models. Thanks.
