This seller has reproduced the individual HUDSON letters and is currently auctioning a set on eBay.

In the comments section of the auction the seller is asked if they can re pop TWIN H Power emblems... their reply:

Q: Your HUDSON letters look great,thanks for making them available. I think you would also sell a bunch of the "TWIN H POWER" deck lid emblems if you made an exact replica of high quality. Nov-10-13
A: We can make the emblems if we can find an original in good condition, no pits, no plastic etc. The size is also a factor, we have the medium size machine for molds that can handle just over 8 inches in length, but the most important is finding those Twin H Power deck lid emblems you have mentioned. If anyone can 'loan' us the emblem we could use it to produce the mold, then they will receive theirs back with two new ones! The original will not be damaged in any way. Can you send me a picture of the emblem or emblems you are focused on? Thank you for the high commendation on the HUDSON letters, we owned a Hudson Hornet, 1957, for 5 years, we loved it! Lynn

    Nice, but a little pricey. Steve Troudt is currently making a batch of Twin-H emblems.

    "They" as in the Hudson letters or Steve's Twin-H emblems?

    I looked at their store site and noticed that they also make the air conditioning emblem for the Hudson. I understand that there are a lot of good HUDSON letters out there, but considering chrome plating prices their repops are not that bad of a deal. I would expect that they would be able to do any of the letter reproductions such as Hornet or Special emblems that are used on my 54?

    Can thank Joe Stinnest for getting this guy to make Hudson stuff as he lives close to him. This guy makes a variety of AMC stuff.

    This is a well-established provider of AMC reproduction parts. I think $65 for good-as-Hudson-new is a heckuva bargain. To plate your old you will spend more than that. Support an AMC provider and they will do more Hudson parts. Pretty simple, isn't it?

    I just took a look at the eBay link. 65.00 for new letters is an excellent price I think.
