Variants

The earliest Cessna 170's were essentially four-seat versions of the popular Cessna 140 two-seater, equipped with a more powerful piston engine and additional fuel tanks.

Beginning in late 1948, Cessna began selling the Cessna 170A, an all-metal Cessna 170 with dihedral-less wings.

In 1952, the Cessna 170B was released. It featured new flaps, a new tailplane, wing dihedral, and other aerodynamic improvements over the 170 and 170A.

Cessna replaced the 170 with the Cessna 172 in 1956.
