For Sale: 1951 Mercedes-Benz 170DS in ASTORIA, New York

One of Only 830 Built: 1951 Mercedes-Benz 170 S Cabriolet A

This 1951 Mercedes-Benz 170 S wears the very attractive and desirable Cabriolet A body style, one of just 830 examples ever built. Wearing an older restoration. Finished in the classic Mercedes-Benz shade of Feuerrot (Fire Red, DB 534) with matching painted steel wheels and wheel covers that are correct for the car while being trimmed with a tan canvas top and tan leather interior. Runs and drives. It was part of the famous Mercedes-Benz collection of the late Fred Kemp of St. Louis, Missouri, for a period of time. Benefiting from a restoration at some point in its life, this attractive 170 S is a fine example of the brand’s postwar return to building high-quality, yet attainable, luxury cars.
