The International Cessna^® 170 Association

Right now I'm the owner of a '48 cessna 140. In the very near future I plan to purchase a cessna 170 B. Do all 170 B models come with metalized wings? I would like to purchase one without any fabric. Any information from the group would be a great help. I plan on selling my 140 only after the purchase of a 170. I can't see myself without a plan for even a very short time.

All A and B models had metal wings and no fabric. Go here for a brief history of the Cessna 170 http://www.cessna170.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=228

thanks. So the 170 was the one with fabric wings.

Yes the 170 sometimes referred to as the straight or plain 170 which was only manufactured in 1948 is the only model with fabric wings.
