1952
A worker out of 7 has a job related to the Automobile Industry. GM produces an interesting documentary about it.
Powered steering is offered by Cadillac, Oldsmobile and Buick in the 1952 models.
Following government proceedings to resolve accusations that GM and GMAC had required GM dealers to use GMAC's financing service, GM enters into a consent decree which sets ground rules for the relations of General Motors and GMAC with dealers. Under the decree, GMAC will conduct its business independently and in competition with other financing organizations.
As the Buick model years passes, changes became less noticeable. On the 1952 Buicks, a chrome spear, just ahead of the rear wheel well, runs forward ending atop the front wheel well. On the 1951 models this spear had a stray piece to it which runs above the rear wheel wells.
Despite the fact that chrome is rearranged to denote one model year from another, the Buicks of the early 50ies are all authentic super cars. They have a unique styling all their own and their size makes for plenty of room, even in the 2-door models.
Automatics are the rageas 85 percent of all Buicks built in 1952, equipped with the Dynaflow trasmission.
Aug. 31: the Henry Ford Trade School closes after 35 years.
Oct. 9: William Clay Ford is named General Manager of the Ford's Special Products Operations.
Packard offers powered brakes.
Marshall Teague, who becomes synonymous with Hudson performance in the fifties, wins 12 of 13 AAA events in 1952.
Overall, Hudson wins 27 of the 34 NASCAR races in 1952.
