Overview of 1951 Mercedes-Benz 170 S 1787 cc For Sale by Owner

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.

Exterior and Interior

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.

The 2013 Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG P31 comes from an era when AMG was still willing to put a huge naturally aspirated V8 into a compact luxury sedan, and that formula is exactly why the W204 C 63 has become such an enthusiast favorite. This example goes a step further with the desirable P31 AMG Development Package, which brings increased output, a 174-mph top-speed limiter, a carbon fiber trunk lid spoiler, and red-painted brake calipers. Finished in Palladium Silver Metallic over Black leather, it also carries a limited-slip differential, Multimedia Package, Lane Tracking Package, and KEYLESS-GO. Showing approximately 115,211 miles, this is the kind of C 63 that appeals to buyers who want the old-school AMG experience: big-displacement V8 power, rear-wheel drive, and a chassis with plenty of attitude.
