The Mercedes-Benz Type 170 was launched in 1935 as a mid-priced luxury automobile and remained in production through 1949 (albeit not during World War II). The X-shaped frame was constructed from lightweight oval tubing and wore several useful and attractive body styles, including 4/5 seat sedans, open tourers, convertibles, and even taxis, ambulances, trucks, and delivery vans. The Cabriolet A was produced from 1936 through 1938 with 794 examples built during that time.
Mounted at the front was a 1.7-liter inline four-cylinder engine rated at 38 horsepower. The 'V' in the vehicle's name represented 'Vorn' or 'Front' in English. The engine was paired to a four-speed manual transmission with synchronizers in third and fourth gear.
This Cabriolet A is a late production example that was previously owned and restored by Mario Sueiras of Guatemala. Its current owner purchased the car in 2014 and had it imported to the United States.By Daniel Vaughan | Feb 2024
