90 years ago, on February 15, 1936, the Mercedes-Benz 170 V made its debut. Until then, the brand was renowned solely for its luxury and racing cars, but it was thanks to this compact and affordable vehicle that it became a mass-production manufacturer.

It quickly established itself as the best-selling model, ensured the company's post-war revival in 1946, and spawned a family of models that remained in production until 1955.

Today, author Hans Peter Würsten finally tells the comprehensive story of the 170 V, 170 S, and 220 models. Drawing on extensive research in the Mercedes-Benz archives, the work illustrates the design, testing, and production phases, intertwining technical processes with the company's history.

Mercedes-Benz 170 V/170 S/220 Bestseller/Retter/Wegbereiter is a limited-edition two-volume set, enriched with nearly 1,200 images, offering a publishing quality typically reserved only for vehicles of the highest prestige.

Volume I: explores the company's history from 1926 to the early 1980s. It analyzes the 170 V in all its technical and socio-historical aspects, explaining how it enabled the post-war economic recovery and how the higher-class 170 S and 220 models were born from its solid foundation.
Volume II: presents facts and figures, including technical tables, identified modifications, production details, colors, optional features, and prices. The volume is rounded off with a focus on unrealized projects and biographies of the key figures who shaped Daimler-Benz's success.
