Does anyone have about eight of these headlight retainer clips or know someplace I can find some?

chances are, that those fit one or two years of Hudson only, and no other make of car. Not gonna be easy to find, unless some Hudson vendor has some used headlight parts. You could take them out, photograph them, add some dimensions and then send an e-mail around to some of those vendors to see if you get any results.
If you don't find them right away, you might just look into buying a complete headlight. Donald Axelrod, in Massachusetts, sells complete headlights for antique cars, you might try him. It might seem the expensive way to go, but if you have a bunch of these headlight parts to buy, you might actually save money by buying a complete unit that has all its parts.
send a pic of this clip to restoration specialties in Johnstown Pa. The have an extensive collection.
