1950 Mercedes-Benz 170 S Cabriolet AThis 1950 Mercedes-Benz Cabriolet A is just out of a collection where it has been in storage for several years. Finished in black and cream, with a black interior. Throughout the finishes exhibit considerable age and patina, in particular to the chrome of the exterior and to the engine compartment. The dashboard contains a clock and an impressive Telefnken push-button radio. The engine appears to be a slightly later replacement unit from a 180 model. Overall, the car represents a fine basis for restoration.Often dubbed the original S-Class, Mercedes-Benz?s 170 S represented achievable luxury, with its six-cylinder engine boosted to 6.5:1 compression for 52 horsepower, competition-inspired double A-arm and coil-spring front suspension, and a four-speed manual gearbox, with synchromesh in all four gears. While it may have lacked the impressive size and technology of today?s S-Class models, it did set the path in that direction, with very comfortable interior fitments and by being both sporty and easy to drive. Available body styles included the Cabriolet A, which, like many of the 170s, charmingly aped the larger 300 model of the same period, with the chrome beltline trim, handsome rounded rear deck, and curved front wings echoing the 300 S Cabrioletalbeit in scaled-down form. With individual headlamps mounted on the wings, flanking an impressive tall radiator shell, it also boasted a clear heritage back to the company?s glorious pre-war models. In sum, it was, and remains, a beautiful automobileand as an essentially coachbuilt model, it was scarce, even when new, and remains so today. One of the most desirable styles on this chassis Attractive styling, capturing the best of prewar and postwar influences A tempting restoration projectPrice: $67,500
