Summary: The introduction of the car in Spanish society following the civil war is a slow and difficult process that does not bear fruit, as far as industrial consolidation and widespread use of the vehicle is concerned, until the second half of the decade of the 60. The same applies to infrastructure: we have to wait for 1967 for the appearance of a plan for highways, but its development will be very erratic until recently. The Spanish film is a primary source for studying cultural evolution of the car and its contradictions, and not only in films where car ownership is almost obsoluto: We already have car (July Salvador, 1958) or Sister Citroen (Pedro Lazaga, 1967) , but also in others that seem far less clear, as Time unknown (Mariano Ozores, 1963), or speaks, mudita (Manuel Gutierrez Aragon, 1973). Reducing the field of study to the work of a Spanish director, the car plays a unique role in films by Carlos Saura, one of our most veteran directors whose business has been interrupted only with the passage of tiempo.La presence in the car his films generated constructions allegorical highly significant, as in the scene of lighthouses in the Chevrolet Peppermint frappé (1967); supports the narrative structure and / or discursive: The premium Angelica (1973), Shooting (1993), and shows the consistency of the whole film director, since it can set different semantic fields around the dominant element (symbol of social status and crime suppression, car problems, relationships, etc.)
