Mercedes-Benz 1936
Photo: 15 February 1936 was an important day for Mercedes-Benz. At the International Automobile and Motorcycle Exhibition (IAMA) in Berlin, the brand presented the newly developed 170 V, an extremely modern vehicle. With its outstanding attributes, the Mercedes-Benz 170 V became a runaway success right from the start. 91,048 units had been produced by the time the Second World War brought the first production period to an end in 1942. This made Mercedes-Benz 170 V the brand’s most successful passenger car to that date. (Image provided by & copyright © Daimler AG).
