If you had the coin, then am/fm radios were available in 1952 or so. This one could have been fitted later anyway.
As for power, engines were small in most cars in Europe at that time, gas being very costly. Many cars were taken back to the States by servicemen and this one may have been a one of them. Large steering wheels were needed when you had no power steering, or you needed to have arms like Popeye.
This looks like it could be a company car for Maria Klink Kosmetics.
