Mercedes-Benz 170 V (internal index W136) - a series of cars of the German brand Mercedes-Benz, produced from the beginning of 1936 to 1955. The 170 V made its public debut as a successor to the W15 (170) in February 1936. The letter "V" in the name means "Vorne" (front), and was necessary to distinguish this car from the Mercedes-Benz 170H ("Heck" - back) - with the same engine, but installed in the back. In the period from 1936 to 1939. cars in this series were the best-selling of all pre-war Mercedes-Benz vehicles. In the period from 1936 to 1942, more than 75,000 vehicles were produced [3]. During the war, the Daimler-Benz concern was forced to curtail its main activities in favor of the military industry. A fairly large number of W136 designs and production facilities survived the Allied bombing during World War II (or could be recreated) and could serve as a basis on which the company could return to the mainstream of the automotive industry. By 1947, the 170 V had resumed its title as the company's best-selling car, which it held until 1953. Development The Mercedes-Benz 170 V model has come to replace the outdated W15 Limousine (which means sedan). The car replaced the six-cylinder Mercedes-Benz W15 in production, which was also called the Mercedes-Benz 170. Despite the same engine displacement of 1.7 liters, the new four-cylinder engine had more power. It was also technically and stylistically more modern and had a lower price tag. The model was first shown to the general public in February 1936 at the Berlin Auto Show (IAMA), the main theme of which was the 50th anniversary of motor transport. However, serial production had begun a few months earlier, as had the development of military variants such as the VG and VL. At the time of the premiere, the car was already offered in 6 body styles. In addition, the client had the opportunity to buy only the chassis and then equip it with an exclusive body from specialized workshops. Nevertheless, at the exhibition itself, the car was presented without a rear bumper and wing lamps. Despite this, in March, the production of the car reached about 1900 copies per month. In September, this shortage of bumpers and side lights was corrected. At the same time, a version appeared in the back of a van (German Lieferwagen) with wider wheels and tires. A feature of the cars of the first year of production was the Mercedes star, which was placed not above the grill, but on it itself. This was done due to the fact that the statuette in the form of a sign previously covered the hole for pouring water, which was now carried under the hood. Nevertheless, a year later, in 1937, the Mercedes star again returned to its rightful place, and the radiator grill from the curved outward became completely horizontal. From 1936 to 1938, and also between 1947-1953, the car was the best-selling Mercedes-Benz car. The car is most often referred to as the Mercedes-Benz W136, which corresponds to the serial number of this model, but in 1936 it was introduced to the public as the Mercedes-Benz 170V. Convertible A (2-seater), Cabriolet B (4-seater) and sedan were built on the basis of W136. Over time, in the B Convertible, a soft top upgrade made it possible to remove the metal pillar between the front and rear side windows. In taxi versions, the upper awning was slightly raised for the convenience of passengers in high headdresses. During the off-road sports racing season 1936-1937 (held under the tutelage of SS to train drivers for off-road driving), Mercedes-Benz introduced a special version 170 VR (short for Vorne Roadster). It differed from the standard version with larger wheels, reinforced springs and an increased gear ratio. In addition to a number of victories in 1937-1939 in sports, the car also became the basis for future rally modifications 170 SV and 200 V with engines of 53 and 64 horsepower. Between 1936 and 1938, police versions of the Kubelwagen were built with the same footrest as the civilian version. From November 1938, military kübelwagens began to be produced, which were noticeably different from the police. So, these Wehrmacht cars had the designation Kfz. 1, 2, 3 and were among the most popular kübelwagens. In 1938, civilian versions received a number of technical improvements, including a coolant heating system, noise reduction, air filtration, and an increased fuel tank from 33 to 43 liters. The declared maximum power for 170 V was 38 hp. from. at 3400 rpm, compression ratio 6: 1. The engine had four side-valve cylinders and consumed less than 10 liters per 100 kilometers. In addition, for the first time for a four-cylinder engine, it has achieved greater evenness of work. This was done thanks to the developed and patented Chrysler floating engine technology. The motor was suspended from the motor was suspended from the body in two places and connected to the rear wheels by a four-speed manual transmission so that the center of mass was in the middle. In early models, the gearbox did not have first and second forward gear synchronizers. In 1940, it was improved and the synchronizers received all forward gears. From 1939 to 1943, several gas generator versions were built, designated VG, but no documents about their number survived. Production of the civilian 170V models was curtailed in 1942 due to the final transition of German industry to support the military. Basically, the plant was engaged in the production of Volkswagen Typ 82 (Kubelwagen). In 1943, when Anglo-American bombing destroyed the Mercedes-Benz factories, the model was discontinued. But the only relatively surviving assembly line was just for the 170th. Due to the lack of electricity and workers, the Allied occupying forces allowed Mercedes to produce cars again only towards the end of 1945. In 1946, production of the 170V began again in pickup, flatbed truck, police car and ambulance (Krankenwagen) versions. Only in 1947 did sedan versions, convertibles A and B, and OTP (Open Tourer Police) versions appear again. However, most of the newly produced ones were sent to the administrative needs of the occupation administration.

In the postwar years, the car continued to improve. Since 1949, the line of versions for the car has increased with versions D (Diesel, which did not have time to go into production due to the war) and S (with an independent front spring suspension). In 1950, the cars received an improved braking system, enlarged seats, an increased passenger compartment and improved engines (gasoline - 45 hp, diesel - 40 hp). Also, there was a modification Va (German: Vorne Abdeckung, translated as "trunk"). In addition, the company was helped by the municipality of Copenhagen, who ordered a hundred taxis for the Danish taxi company. In 1952, the Vb was released with a larger rear track and an increased windshield height. In 1952, the W191 model appeared - a larger one, and with updated diesel engines. During production from 1947 to 1952, 83,190 units of the W136 series were produced . The car was produced until 1955 .
