"Despite its 1950 model year, it is an older design that is nonetheless easy to drive and functions beautifully."

Description

According to the records, the car was delivered new to an artist in Hudiksvall. Whether this artist was the author Georg Stenmark remains unclear. He is mentioned on a registration document from 1971. A change of ownership occurred in 1982 to someone who sold the car to the current owner's late uncle in the early nineties. The current owner has owned the car for nearly 13 years and has been told the story about the artist in Hudiksvall. At some point, an owner had the Mercán renovated in the eighties. During that work, spray filler was used which over time caused small bubbles to form in the paint. A well-known phenomenon that can only be remedied by a complete respray. Alternatively, one can simply accept it as a period-typical feature – a reminder that underwork sometimes turned out this way.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition

    The current owner's uncle carried out an engine overhaul in the nineties. It starts quickly and easily, features a fixed choke lever for when needed and also has a 6V CTEK charger installed. Robust main battery disconnect switch. The gearbox is easy to learn, the brakes respond directly and the chassis movements feel tight and good by the standards of the day. This example features the marque's then-modern centralized lubrication system, which was an optional extra.

  • Interior condition

    Fresh and inviting interior. Fine door panels and headliner. The eighties-scented brake light in the rear window is surely a useful function, but whether it fits neatly in a fundamentally thirties-era design is a matter of opinion. The vintage radio's function was not checked.

  • Exterior condition

    Body restored with panel work sometime in the eighties. Nice color combination, though at the time characteristic undercoat work was carried out without awareness of the later effect with the materials used. The small blisters are visible throughout the car, the result of that material which in itself trapped moisture. Good chrome and glass. Fine diagonal tires from Avon.

  • General condition

    Pleasant, neat and reliable. The paint has some characteristics you'll have to live with – these show up on close inspection. Alternatively, you could commission a complete respray of the bodywork.

Facts about the model

Daimler Benz manufacturing facilities around Stuttgart constituted a very important part of German war industry. Because of this, these plants were bombed repeatedly during the final stages of the war. Despite the destruction, manufacturing was able to resume in May 1946, initially with utility vehicles such as light trucks and ambulances on the W136 chassis, under strict control of the occupying powers. In July 1947, production of passenger cars was resumed, now exclusively with four-door sedan bodywork. The 170 VA was Mercedes-Benz's first post-war car and was in turn based on the 1930s design and its predecessor the W136, an internal designation that carried over to this generation as well, which was manufactured between 1949 and 1951.

The 170 S was a larger, more luxurious model with modern front suspension (coil springs) and 52 hp, while the 170 VA is based on the simpler 170 V series with older front suspension (transverse leaf spring) and 45 hp. Both could be equipped with mechanical centralized lubrication for the chassis joints, but pipe routing, pump and number of lubrication points differ depending on the different front suspensions and chassis designs. In total, 83,000 units of the 170 VA were built.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends.
