1950 Mercedes-Benz 170 S Cabriolet A
The 170 S, equipped with a 1,767cc engine featuring an aluminum-alloy cylinder head, generated 52bhp – a remarkable 37% increase over the 170 V. The suspension underwent significant improvements too, adopting a modern double wishbone/coil spring design at the front and widening the rear track, along with fitting telescopic shock absorbers. The 170 S line-up included two convertibles: cabriolet A and convertible saloon B. Production of the 170 S continued until 1955, but the convertibles were only manufactured from 1949 to 1951, with a limited production of 2,433 units compared to nearly 40,000 saloon models.
