With the 170 S, Mercedes-Benz presented the first new design of the post-war period, even if, on closer inspection, it was more of a mixture and evolution of pre-war models. One of the more than 28,000 examples built between 1949 and 1952 was used by Marilyn Monroe in the mid-sixties. This car is presented in many pictures in this article.

Another 70 years later, you can still feel how good the 170 V was back then and why its owners loved it. This driving report is about a Mercedes-Benz 170 Va from 1950, tells the story of the model and shows the vehicles in current and historical pictures. Brochures and a sound sample are also included.
