The Mercedes 170V

The 170V W136, launched in 1947, was the desperate attempt by Daimler-Benz to step out of the ruins of WWII. Based on a 1936 design, it earned the company sufficient funds to later build cars such as the 300 Adenauer or 300SL. Fully revised in March 2016, this book covers the car's complete history. It explains in detail the chassis number and data card and looks at a downsized version of it in connection with Auto-Union (Audi). Like all books by the author it comes superbly illustrated with many recent color photos. If you want to know more about the 170V or the Auto-Union connection, then this book will interest you.

With over 25 books and e-books written about Mercedes-Benz cars, Bernd S. Koehling has proven to be an authority on the brand. Those books cover cars from the 1947 170V to the 2012 SL R231.
