Is this the same emblem (size, mounting) that fits a '52-'53?

According to the parts lists I have the following part numbers for the ornament apply:
1951 - 225080
1952-1953 - 230225
1954 - 240090
1948-1949 are also different; I don't have a parts list for 1950.
What the difference is I don't know.

Is that because they're currently out of them ,or are they just not going to make anymore?0 -
Yes, that's the one. Sorry about the missing link, forgot to post it, for some reason. Glad you found it. I'm still on the lookout for a decent one for the convertible and wanted to make sure this would work.

Russell - This ornament was used only on the 1955 Hudson Rambler as far as I know. The plastic piece is much thinner than the one used in the lighted ornament used on the '50 thru '54 senior cars. I suppose one could make up a spacer to hold the ornament to the edge of the chrome piece, but as it stands without some sort of spacer it would not work.
