Glenn Byron sent me a pointer to this Craigslist posting: http://maine.craigslist.org/cto/2554126958.html

The pictures aren't large enough to really see if the right side has traces of a spare tire mount. But it's supposedly a very original '54 so it's surprising to see the bracket on the left side.

Derek, my guess would be perhaps a special factory or dealer order?

Until more information is available, i.e. wheel well bracing, I wouldn't rule out owner modification - afterall, someone attached a tow bar on the front.

The left inner wheel house brace would certainly be of interest.
