The Mercedes-Benz W136 series, a line of four-cylinder passenger cars, served as the brands flagship model from the mid-1930s to the 1950s. Debuting in February 1936 as the 170 V (the V designation denoted Vorn, or front, distinguishing it from the rear-engine 170 H), it succeeded the W15 Type 170 and became Mercedes best-selling model from 1936 to 1939, with over 75,000 units manufactured by 1942. Surviving Allied bombing during World War II, its tooling facilitated post-war reconstruction. Resuming production in 1947, the 170 V regained its top-seller status until 1953. Most models were four-door Limousines, although diverse body types were offered, including the Cabrio-Limousine with a foldaway canvas roof, while more utilitarian taxi variants featured large rear luggage racks. The range also included two-door Cabriolet A and Cabriolet B models. Despite war disruptions, Mercedes-Benz production recommenced in 1946, initially focusing on light trucks and ambulances before passenger car production resumed in 1947. The 170 V saw a resurgence in 1949, including a diesel variant dubbed the Mercedes-Benz 170 D, renowned for its exceptional fuel economy.
