Popular Common Cars of the 70s - Israeli Sussita

Israeli Sussita, was a cheap and ugly car that was the pride of the local car industry in the 60s. It was made from fiberglass (and wood floor at the first models), and was as reliable as flat tire. 

However... it was the first Israeli car, and it was kind of a big deal back then. You could find it almost everywhere - it was very cheap, and it was the ideal deal for the working class, for many small businesses/ industry. 

The car was just a mishmash of random car parts from ford (England) and other manufacturers, it was an odd box shaped car, its nick name was "The Cube".   

You can't see those car anymore on the streets, but once in a while one can stumble upon a "Cube", the encounter will surly bring some nostalgic sentiment, and yearning for simpler, and naive times. 

Here is my version of the "Cube"

 

You can purchase this illustration on my Online Digital Art Shop.

It might be suitable only for die hard fans :) But hey! It is a piece of history (and kind of a jock).
