Introduction: In 1936, Mercedes-Benz showed a compact car designed for the masses: the 170 H. It was part of the new trend among the ambitious automotive designers to move away from the rigid rear axle toward an independent suspension, rear- or mid-engine and a streamlined body.

Introduction: Mercedes-Benz introduced the Typ 130 at the 1934 International Motor and Motorcycle Show in Berlin at the same time as the prestigious 500 K series, and it was the smallest vehicle in the carmaker's portfolio.
