Mercedes-Benz Typ 230 w153 Limousine 1939. Fundler Models FM001 (assembled by Kit O'boy) The machine was presented at the International exhibition of cars and motorcycles in Berlin as a new generation of six-cylinder luxury models average size 230-type. This car became one of the key models of the late 1930s, although neither his style nor technology can not be considered revolutionary and the volume of its production has not reached the production capacity of its predecessor body W 143. 2.3 liter car engine with some improvements was taken from the predecessor. To solve the problem of deterioration in engine performance associated with the quality of gasoline, the engine compression was reduced to allowed him to remain fully functional even when running on low octane fuel. Compensation for the loss of power was produced by modification of the combustion chambers to increase their volume of 60 cm3 and addition of an automatic heater of the intake manifold with a bimetal heating element. This car was first used all-metal body. The body became wider and higher. The use of two adjustable air dampers that provide fresh air into the ventilation chamber, which was installed outside in front of the windscreen, where the air passes through the vents below the windscreen into the car, ensured adequate ventilation of the cabin. Mass production of cars began in 1939. during the period from February 1938 to April 1942, at the plant in Untertürkheim, was produced 4176 units W 153.
