1954 advertising bat

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.
