ABSTRACT
In many parts of this book, we look at the ways we remember our cars. I wish to take this opportunity to ask how our cars remember us. A car is made up of hundreds of parts. Each of them is the outcome of production processes, economic and political factors, and the social environment. In the making of cars, technological and social relationships define and redefine each other once and again. In this chapter, I explore the manufacture of the fiberglass-based Israeli car, the Susita (סוסיתא) produced by the Autocars Company, to show how the social became physical, and how the fiberglass body of the Susita car materialized its values and became its heritage.
