Since 1883 what we know today as Mercedes-Benz has been around in some form or another. The Company has managed to outlive two world wars and countless upheavals. Throughout the decades, Mercedes-Benz has produced some of the most remarkable and sought-after vehicles in the automotive industry. Shortly after World War 2, Mercedes-Benz introduced the Mercedes-Benz 170 S, a luxury car produced from 1949 to 1955, aimed at successful business owners and company directors. The S suffix stands for Sonder Model-special model, alluding to its high level of luxury and comfort. A rare chance to own a fully mechanically rebuilt 1951 Mercedes-Benz 170 S with just 63,000 miles on the odometer after the rebuild is at hand.
Of the 31,197 units built, this 1951 Mercedes-Benz 170 S is dressed in a savvy green exterior with black-colored fender guards. The front features a single-piece chrome grille with flanking round headlights in a black casing and chrome bezels with new lightbulbs. A chrome front bumper finishes the front façade. Ridged and chrome stylings are visible on the car's sides just below the windows, while lower chrome running boards are located. A nifty design features are the front suicide doors and conventional rear doors. The rear is tame compared to the front, with only the Mercedes-Benz Star, the 170 S letterings, taillights, boot hinges and latch, and a rear bumper giving it character, all done in chrome. It sits on a set of black-painted rims with silver-painted wheels covers. Brown is the theme used for the interior and blends beautifully with the polished wood dash and trims, which the seller reports to be all original. More chrome is evident in the interior in a perfect amalgamation of the design cues. The oversized vintage 3-spoke chrome steering wheel has reportedly been remounted. The foot pedals are engraved with the Mercedes-Benz Star for added attention to detail.
Powering this majestic vintage car is a 1,767cc inline-4 gasoline engine. Mated to a 4-speed manual transmission, this 1951 Mercedes-Benz 170 S has 52hp power with 82.5 lb.ft of torque. The seller reports that a new radiator has been installed to keep the engine at optimal temperatures, a new starter, and a new generator. Stopping power is refreshed with the reportedly new brakes.
