Unveiled at the International Automobile and Motorcycle Exhibition in Berlin in February 1936, it replaced the 170. With the same engine capacity of 1.7 liters, it was more powerful, more modern, and more affordable than its predecessor. Combined with a simple and reliable design, this translated into an enormous success for the model.

The example shown here is a 170 Va, that is, after modernization changes made in 1950. Among these was the addition of easy access to the luggage compartment (through the tailgate), increased seating and interior width of the passenger compartment, and improved suspension and brakes. #w136 #mercedes170v #mercedesw136 #oldbenz source: gieldaklasykow.pl
