Mercedes-Benz 170V Cabriolet B, année 1939. Essence 1,7 L, modèle rare utilisé par la Wehrmacht allemande. La plaque d'identification porte le marquage (WaA 194) et le poinçon de la croix gammée. Le marquage WaA 194 authentifie le véhicule.

What the code WaA 194 specifically means:

Military inspection: The Heereswaffenamt sent inspection teams to factories. Each inspector or inspection team had a unique number (such as 194).

Historical value: Vehicles with this marking have a demonstrable military past in the Second World War. Many of these passenger cars were deployed as staff cars (Kommandeurswagen) for officers.

Rarity: Because most military Mercedes 170 V models did not survive the war (or were completely used up after the war), original civilian body styles such as the Cabriolet B with an authentic WaA marking are extremely rare today and valuable to collectors of militaria and pre-war classics.
