1935 Mercedes-Benz 130 Cabrio-Limousine

A classic 1935 Mercedes-Benz 130 Cabrio-Limousine leaving Cars & Coffee.

"Engineered and designed as a completely new model series, the rear-engine vehicles launched as 130, 150, and 170H (for "Heckmotor" - rear-engine), as opposed to the popular 170V offered at the same time, weren't very well known in the 1930's and are even rarer today. Rounding off the company's product portfolio at the lower end, Mercedes-Benz offered an affordable solution for those suffering from the world economic crisis. While the rear-engine design did not lead to further use at Daimler-Benz, the vehicles nonetheless featured many of the technical innovations of 1930's Mercedes-Benz cars."
