Vehicle Description This 1950 Mercedes-Benz 170S is one of approximately 830 built with Cabriolet A coachwork during its 3 years of production and was delivered on July 31, 1950, in the French market.
The car was imported to Switzerland in 2005 and received refurbishment that included repairs to the bodywork in 2008 before being purchased in 2014 by an owner who commissioned an overhaul of the 1,767cc L-head inline-4 engine in 2015.
The 1,767cc M136 inline-4 engine features a detachable aluminum cylinder head and a downdraft Solex carburetor.
This car has an all-synchromesh 4-speed manual transmission.
It had further cosmetic work in 2022 that included a repaint from Ivory to its current black and a refresh of the tan leather interior before being purchased by the seller and imported to the U.
S.
This Mercedes is equipped with coil-spring suspension featuring a double-wishbone front setup with swing-axle rear assembly and sway bar, 4-wheel hydraulic drum brakes, body-color steel wheels, a black convertible top and a Becker 12-volt radio with a step-up converter.
Features include rear-hinged doors, bright shoulder-line trim, bumper guards at the front and rear, fender-mounted headlights, front fog lamps, a parking-assist pole affixed to the right front fender, a driver's-side mirror, trafficators, rear reflectors, Switzerland rear emblem and a black convertible top with hinged landau bars.
Body-color steel wheels wear matching hubcaps with bright star emblems (cracking of the finish is exhibited on the right-rear hubcap).
BFGoodrich Silvertown wide whitewall tires are mounted all around, while a trunk-mounted spare is non-matching rubber.
The cabin features tan leather over a pair of front bucket seats and a fold-down rear occasional seat.
Matching upholstery is on the door panels, while gray carpeting bound in brown covers the floor.
Additional features include wood door caps, roll-up windows, door pockets with chrome handles, a dash-mounted ashtray and cigar lighter, tinted sun visors and a tan top boot with brown binding.
The 3-spoke steering wheel has a chrome horn ring and sits ahead of the VDO instrumentation that includes a 140-km/h speedometer, a clock and a combination gauge monitoring oil pressure, coolant temperature and fuel level.
A burlwood bezel Becker radio sits to the driver's right but does not work.
There is a Pioneer radio inside the glovebox with a 6-to-12-volt step-up converter and a speaker fitted under the dash.
This W136 cabriolet comes with a manufacturer's declaration letter from Daimler-Chrysler and invoices from its time in Switzerland.
