According to the 1929-55, Parts and Accesories Catalog, the hood is listed as:Panel,Hood Top
Year Model Part Name Part No.
47-55 COMM.(1st Ser.)........left..........3701465
47-55 COMM.(1st Ser.)........right.........3701466
It sure seems to imply that the 47-53 should fit your 54. Of course, as the other guys have mentioned, there are different holes for emblems. I do know that the side 3100 call out is the same on a 54 as a 53. I do know from experience that hoods are tricky. They can bend a tweek if not handled correctly when they are off. Hope this helps.

great info Rugo, that's what I needed. I bought a used hood which looked good until it was mounted. one side was perfect while the other side was about 1 1/2" off. turns out it had some damage on the top of the hood that wasn't very noticeable. since I don't want a bondo queen, i'm opting for a new hood. thanks
