Mercedes W29 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1934–1936) — First Generation
The first-generation Mercedes W29 is a grand pre-war cabriolet built around a big-displacement engine and an open body, designed for effortless long-distance touring rather than outright practicality.
Every Mercedes W29 engine in this selection is a five-litre petrol unit driving the rear wheels, a layout that favours relaxed pulling power over revs. Versions such as the 5.0 MT, 5.0 MT4 and 5.0 MT5 pair that powertrain with a manual gearbox, so gear selection and drivetrain feel remain firmly in the driver's hands.
