1940 | Mercedes-Benz 230 Cabriolet A

Starting in 1933, Mercedes-Benz brought a new middle class car to market with the Mercedes-Benz 200. It replaced the successful model "Stuttgart" from the 1920s. There was an immediate desire to increase engine power so the model 230 was created. It was manufactured successfully until 1941. In parallel, there was already the new 230 (W 153) which had been introduced at the Berlin Auto Show in 1933. Chassis and body were entirely new. Due to the war, this model remained rare and is a very sought after classic today. The post war models 170 S and 220 were direct descendants from the W 153.
