37PackardMan Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Back around 1974 my uncle saw this car up in Connecticut. It appears to be about a 1930 Mercedes from the radiator cap. I have wondered what has happened to this car....does anyone know???? Maybe someone can decipher the license plate.... I google '1930 Mercedes' and nothing like it shows up in the Images section.

37PackardMan Posted September 17, 2019 Author Share Posted September 17, 2019 Thanks for the prompt response. It sure looks similar to a Model A Ford! I wonder if this one has survived!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Friederich Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) Yes, 1st generation M-B 170 with conventional ladder chassis. Introduced at the 1931 Paris Motor show, in this form produced upto 1934. Rear swing axle and hydraulic brakes; 13775 were made including the improved 1935-1936 Model. Rare today.

alsancle Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Yes rare. You see a few of the later cars, but as an econobox they were used up and throw away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
