About the Cessna 170A

The Cessna 170 is the classic four-seat taildragger that preceded the 172 — a high-wing, conventional-gear single built from 1948 to 1956, powered by a Continental engine. Loved for its vintage character, light handling and backcountry capability, the 170 is the tailwheel forerunner of the tricycle-gear 172 Skyhawk and remains a sought-after classic and bush aircraft. See the live price range and median above for the Cessna 170 listings currently on the market.

Produced 1948–1956.
