Are these easily found?

    H10 are easily found at Repco or supercheap in Australia, they may have to order them in for you, but, they will not have the Hudson stamped on them.

    I don't think "easily" , I have one,haven't seen another in15 years or so with the Hudson name.
    Champion did put other manufactures names on plugs.
    I was told by a spark plug collector the value was $12-$22

    they are quite rare - I found a complete box of them in the original Champion box + an opened box of them at an antique shop in San Diego some years ago. I gave several of my Hudson cronies each one of the NOS plugs from the broken box as a memento. I'm not sure if I still have the unopened box or not but think I sold it last year to a Hudson memorablia collector who came by.

    wow, I never knew that Champion ever placed the Hudson name on plugs. I run the H-11s in the hornet. I have never seen in 20years, a set of Champion H-11s in the black oxide base. All that I see are the cadmium base Champion manufactured since 1956. Did the pre 1956 H11s have Hudson embosed on the plugs?

    the ones I found were of the pre-Hash era as in addition to the box of NOS plugs was a nice selection of parts & shop manuals all, as I recall, of the '46 - '54 era. Obviously someone had gotten this stuff from an old dealer or had inherited it as it was in a display case one rents in an antique mall. I just looked on my work bench where I have some Hudsony things sitting around as, not having a Hudson any more, don't hardly use it, & there wasn't one there but I thought I had kept one, if not the whole box, but they'd be up at my place in Prescott SO I don't remember what the H# the plugs were.

    I have a Champion J-9 spark plug complete with box. It has "Hudson" on the plug porcelain and on one side of the box it reads, "Hudson Motor Car Co., Hudson Approved Accessories". The other side reads, "Hudson Champion Spark Plug". Box and plug seem to be from the 1930's. Purchased it on eBay about a year ago for around $7.00.

    Funny story about the HUDSON logo on spark plugs. I know a very nice gentleman in our club who is a die hard originilist - if it ain't original, it's not a true Hudson. I went up to him one day at a meet where he was expounding the wonderful qualities of Hudson automobiles to a non-Hudson spectator. I looked under the hood of this gentlemans car and told him his car wasn't orginal. After spluttering for about 5 min he asked me what I meant. I told him his spark plugs didn't have HUDSON on them - he didn't speak to me for 6 months. LOL ROFL

    When I pulled the eight plugs out of my Hudson when I did the first tune up there were three different sizes of spark plugs and not one had "Hudson" written on it. It would be fun to have Hudson plugs in my car but I doubt that would be realistic in this day...
