Also the small hubcaps which means the wheels are 16" gave another direction to be those last 170 SV, or SD, and those wheels were never used on W 187-220 or in W 136-170 S. Finally, the 220 and 170S had side vents with a long chrommed wire along the nervure. By all these events I would be sure to be a 170 SV, first year 1953.
