1953 Mercedes-Benz 170 Model Ads |
|||||
In January 1952 the Mercedes-Benz 170 Sb replaced the 170 S model. Both convertible versions had been withdrawn in November 1951, and as such the 170 Sb was available only as a four-door sedan/saloon body. Other changes in the 1952 upgrade included the replacement of the floor-mounted gear lever with a column mounted version. There was now a starter button on the dashboard, and the heater was improved. The engine was also improved with the camshaft being driven by a chain rather than via gear cogs. A hypoid rear differential was fitted and the rear track was increased by 0.6". In January 1952 a diesel powered version of the 170 S was now offered, and sold as the Mercedes-Benz 170 DS. It shared the OM 636 diesel power unit of the 170 V and came with the same official top speed of 65 mph. Production of the 170 for 1953 was: 170 DS 12,857, 170 Sb 8080 and approximately 140 chassis only for specialty body manufacturers.
