Curator's tour of the exhibition "Susita"
A tour of the Israeli automobile industry and its connection to the history of the State of Israel. The period in which the Haifa industry and its factories, especially the Autocars factory, were founded is of great importance in the history of the country.
The Israeli automobile industry has been closely linked to the history of the State of Israel since its inception. The fascinating story of the establishment of this industry in Haifa provides insight into the vision that sought to integrate Israel into the global automobile club. The automobile factories, and especially the Autocars plant that assembled the famous Susita, represent a significant chapter in the country's narrative over three decades.
The city of Haifa plays an important role in this story as an industrial city. The first decades of the State of Israel were characterized by various initiatives, many of which took place in the northern city. The Haifa City Museum allows visitors to get acquainted with this chapter in the city's history and the stories of the people behind the legend of the Israeli automobile. It is an inspiring story that offers different perspectives - historical, nostalgic and modern - on a small dream called Susita.
