I love these hardtops. This is a great example, too. But it needs a lot. New tires? On one side of the car black wall, on the other white wall tires? Hmm, strange. The slim ww always look funny on 50s cars. If daily driver really means it is all sorted and roadworthy, the price is not too far off. Cosmetics are still bad. Nevertheless,  great find!

Looks like a lot of effort was put into it to bring it back to life.  Still plenty of opportunity for improvements as the pictures show.  A desirable body style as Hans points out.  It’s always a question of how much $$$ to invest in it to make it better.

Would have loved to find a 52 Hudson coupe in this condition. I do not think the asking price is out of line, if this is the style and finish you want. Lots of people like the look of an old unrestored car. It will sell, early 50’s Oldsmobiles are great driving cars.

When did they introduce power steering on these?

'52 was the first year. I've had people tell me it was only available on 98s, but my dealer materials don't say that.

I think Chrysler was the first to have it in 1951 followed by most every big manufacturer in 1952.
