Just Discovered 1950 Mercedes-Benz 170S Cabriolet B Project



1950 Mercedes-Benz 170S Cabriolet B



This 1950 Mercedes-Benz 170S Cab B is an original example thats been patiently awaiting a well-deserved restoration. Tan with brown interior. Comes with many parts to complete the project. Recently discovered after several years tucked away in storage and hidden from view. Out of long-term ownership, this 1950 Mercedes-Benz 170 S is one of just over 1,600 Cabriolet B four-seat convertibles manufactured during its three years of production. Mercedes-Benz has long recognized the importance of carrying a design theme across an entire line of cars. The convertible models of the 170 S from the early 1950s were clearly a scaled-down version of the larger 300 S, with the exception of freestanding headlamps. The curves of the wings, the tail, and the beltline molding were all the same, merely in a smaller form.



The result was a spectacular smaller car, which, thanks to its racing-inspired suspension, high-compression engine, and all-synchromesh transmission, was sporty, comfortable, and fun to drive. Increasingly sought-after and collectible with each passing day. Heres the opportunity to be the first to restore this very special Mercedes-Benz.



Price: $28,500
