1952 Mercedes-Benz 170 D
Ladies and Gentlemen Resto pros.. Gem seekers, whatever you call yourself and, whoever you associate yourself with. I present to you a. 1952 MERCEDES BENZ 170DS (D for DIESEL and S for SEDAN / SALOON) A piece of machinery from the past, a time traveled piece of art into todays technology……….. A bit info from WIKIPEDIA, but those who know more firsthand about these, please free to share (thank you). 170 Sb / 170 DS (19521953). In January 1952 the Mercedes-Benz 170 Sb replaced the 170 S model. The car now received a works number of its own, becoming known internally as the Mercedes-Benz W 191. Both cabriolet versions had been withdrawn in November 1951, cabriolet buyers now being catered for by the cabriolet versions of the 6-cylinder. The 170 Sb was therefore available only with a four-door sedan/saloon body. Other changes included in the 1952 upgrade included the replacement of the floor-mounted gear lever with a then fashionable column mounted gear lever. There was now a starter button on the dashboard and the heater was improved. Under the bonnet/hood the camshaft was now driven via a chain rather than via gear cogs, a hypoid differential was fitted and the rear track was increased by 15 mm (0.59 in). It shared the 40 HP 29 kW. Diesel power unit of the diesel powered 170 V and came with the same official top speed of 105 km/h (65 mph). In 1952 diesel powered passenger cars were still very much a novelty even in Germany. Now a bit about what I can tell you about this piece of history that youre looking at. Unfortunately, not much I can say about its history, I doubt it belonged to Hitlers nephew or anyone whos been connected to those history days. All I can say is that I have it and based on my mechanical / body work background I can say that this sedan is in an excellent shape / condition for a very fun and interesting restoration project. Lets start with the body / chassis. It is very very good. Id say 95-98% is still the original panels and not much has been touched or restored. The only part that I believe has been replaced at some point is the sidesteps. They seem to be molded out of fiber. The rest is good. It has enough material / structure / shape that even if those pieces that need replacement or renewed, you will have enough material to work with. The main frame rails are like new from the factory line. I guess those vehicles were so well treated with the protective coating, that it held well and it is solid. Suspension is also in superb condition and all intact. Please refer to the undercarriage shots for a better understanding and take a look at a shot of a trunk area that usual rots away as water leaks in through the rubber seal on the trunk lid. Also see the trunk lid and its shot from the inside and how well its contours are. Interior looks great as well. It had leather covers at some point but Im leaving it the way it is so that the new owner has template to work off of. Knobs, handles, trim, etcmost, if not all, is present. Engine and manual transmission with a COLUMN SHIFTER. Engine turns over and Im pretty sure has some compression. Here is how I came to that conclusion. As I was moving it on and off the trailer and around the property, it was in gear and with it being engaged in the gear, the car was slightly hopping as you would expect from a manual equipped vehicle. When the clutch would be depressed, the car rolled free, like in neutral. Brake lines seem to be in good shape as well and not rotted away. NOW THE IFFIE STUFF. The gas tank cap and radiator caps are missing. Also, the passenger front door window is missing. And please be open minded, this car will have some hole in its floor panel, but very minor and probably expected. I hope I gave a well detailed description to my knowledge as I possibly could, but those who know every nut and bolt on these history pieces, please advise me on what to look for and I will gladly do so and provide updates. THE CAR WILL COME WITH. BILL OF SALE ONLY ASK YOUR LOCAL DMV ON HOW THAT WORKS AS FAR AS GETTING THIS TYPE OF A VEHICLE REGISTERED AND INSURED ONCE ITS ROAD WORTHY.
