Has anyone seen a small baseball bat for advertising a 1954 Hudson. I was at a swap meet today and someone had one. I was not sure it was a Hudson motor Advertising piece. Anyone know?

    Yes, what you missed was a very scarce promotional piece used at the factory announcement meeting for the 1954 model's campaign.

    That bat was reproduced, to some extant, for the 2004 HET National Meet at Pittsburgh.  The bat reads "Hudson Essex Terraplane Club's National Meet, Pittsburgh 2004, Going to Bat & Celebrating The All New Hudson for 1954."  You may have missed out on a rare Hudson advertising artifact assuming it wasn't the reproduction.  Keep an eye out for it again and if the price isn't ridiculous, I'd buy it.
