Mein vater hatte ein v170 1938 dunkle grun

Reading German Automotive Literature for about more than 40 years since 1978, I believe that you are wrong saying that the 170 V was the successor of the 170 6 cylinder from 1931.
For three reasons: 1. I believe that I read that the 200 6 cylinder from 1935 was the successor 2. Due to Black Friday many German Car producers shrunk the size and weight of their cars to use less petrol because petrol became rationed to 20 liters per week for commercial use or per month for private use. Hans Nibel tried therefore to replace the 200 Stuttgart model, which was heavy framed and popular as a taxi cab by downgrading to 1.7 liter.
3. Mercedes tries to offer always a successor that is better and bigger but the 170 V is only a four cylinder for a six cylinder. This during a massive prospering time when Hitler pumped millions into the building of Autobahn and buying of cars for officials? Not conclusive
The 170 V is the indirect brother of the 170 H and this was the successor of the 130 H ended in 1935.
So the 170 V was officially a new class that was invented.
On the market it looked as if the 170 V was successor of the 170/6 but there was a time gap of more than 2 years between the end of 1934 and the end of 1936 when production of 170 V came really into start.

I correct myself I am wrong you’re right the 170 V is the successor but it looked somehow different.

Perhaps one anecdote:
It is said that Bill Mitchell the famous designer from GM once has said: Mercedes? Ain’t that the cars with technology from yesterday and design from before yesterday? Whenever I see a 170 V I do think about this😂

A worker under trade Union earned around 80 RM per Month. A formerly jobless person at the Arbeitsfront earned 80 Pfennig per Day !
Plus a soup for a meal.
