A timely car appealing to a contemporary middle class, the 170V continued the marque's reputation for smooth-running, robust engines in a range of neatly proportioned factory steel bodies, for a price attractive enough to have earned 91,048 sales between 1935 and 1942. New were the 170D and 170S, cars developed out of rational hope: the 170D offered an oil-burning version of the standard car's 1697cc "four", to capitalise on the substantially cheaper diesel in post-war Germany, while the 170 "Super" W191 excited those looking for somethinga little extra tothe newly reinstated run-of-the-mill saloon.
