The car-human interconnection is the subject of this article. The author sees cars as products produced with a specific cultural context. As they roll off both the assembly line and, ultimately, the showroom floors, their social and cultural productiveness continues to evolve on both the macro- and micro scales. This is seen to manifest in differences -- of class, generation, gender, and race – through how and to whom cars are bought and sold. The article focuses on the gender aspect of difference as seen through the lens of British colonial history
