    I've seen these before. Yours would have hung in a Hudson dealership. What, exactly, is your question about the banner?

    I was looking for some history on them, where they would be from, dealer etc. I am also looking to find a value either for insurance purposes or for selling. I havent been able to find any info on them.

    Thanks for looking and any help you may be able to give me.

    These posters were provided to all Hudson Dealers as part of their introductry package for the new 1955 Hudsons. This package consisted of a supply of hand out literature, the wal posters, some self adhiesive stickers to draw pospects attention to the various "new" features of the cars, and I beleive some window trim for the show room windows.



    Also included was a "Service Parts" package that the dealers paid dearly for!

    Very interesting. THANK YOU. I thought they were a dealer item but was not really sure. It is nice to know some history about the items. Thanks.

    I do have an old photo of a dealership in NY at night. I am assuming that they were from there. I have it hanging up.

    Pics opened on my browser. As above these were issued to dealers for display for the new line.



    Unless there is a dealer name somewhere on the item(s) it would probably be impossible to specify a specific dealer.



    Not being familiar with these I have no idea of value - Paul Schuster would probably be a good bet, or Charlie Nau.
