I would have thought that since you really do not have bolt-on fenders, that all the rear fenders would be the same. This is odd. I will ask another '54 owner and see what he has to say about this.

I "fired off" an e-mail to Darrell Davis, the Plymouth Owners Club Technical Advisor for 1954 Plymouths. So, we will see what he has to say on the subject.

A,
This is what Darrell Davis wrote back to me:
"There was one fender skirt listed in the MoPar Accessory Catalogue for both 1953 & 1954 Plymouths and Dodges in 1954. It was an over the fender opening skirt. Fender skirt manufacturers also made a flush mounted inside the wheel opening skirt.
"The over the opening skirt should fit all models so I can't explain why it won't fit (the) club coupe. I assume that the club coupe is a Savoy since that is the only series that had a club coupe as I remember."
Darrell also stated: "PS: I own four 54 Blevederes. One of each body style and all four have skirts on them."
So, there you have it. From this, I am assuming that you have a set of "inside the wheel opening" skirts, not a set of "over the fender opening" skirts. So, it seems that the set you have was made by an accessory (third party) manufacturer.
You don't, by chance, have a Canadian-built Plymouth, do you? I do not know if that would make a difference, but who knows ....
I hope that you can find another club coupe to be able to compare the wheel well openings on the rear fenders.
