1946-53 170D (W138) dimensions

Does anybody have a book with the specs of these 4-door saloon/sedans?


Specifically, I'm interested in the wheelbase, track (F/R), and width, but if you have more handy, it'll all be appreciated. Were there were any differences between pre- and post-WWII versions?

OR, if that data's on the net (I can't find it) . . . where?

Thanks,

Wouldn't that be W136? Check out this site:

http://www.ollihart.de/mercedes/pkw/start2.html

There is some basic info there. Not sure if it is what you are looking for, but maybe it is a start.

Yes, it's a W136 not a W138 (I used "available memory" instead of looking it up).

I've spent some time at the site you recommended and appreciate the photos - thanks - but don't see any dimensions listed. Not being able to read German, I may be missing it, but I think I've clicked on all the buttons at one time or another.

I have a 1952 170 DS W 191
my owners manual says :
wheelbase 112 "
length 175 3/8 "
width 66 1/4 "
track front 51 3/4 "
track rear 56 13/32"

a W136 car(170v,d,etc):

wheelbase 112 "
length 168.7 "
width 62.2"
track front 51.6 "
track rear 51"

I hope this helps

VERY much - thank you!
