Cars are an assembly of parts most often from suppliers scattered across the country and often the world. The parts for the cars are made at supplier factories then shipped to the car company's assembly plant where they are assembled into the car you drive.

One supplier might make the seats or other interior parts, another makes the wheels, another the tires and so on. Generally the assembly starts with a car's frame, to which the engine, suspension, steering, brakes, transmission and other frame parts are attached as the frame moves down the assembly line. At each stop on the line other parts are added.

The body also moves down an assembly line where first it is rustproofed then painted and next all the windows, body panels, handles, interior and other body or interior parts are added.

As the frame and body near completion they flow to a station where they are joined and all the electrical and fluid connections are made and the car finally rolls off the assembly line as a full vehicle which is then shipped to your local dealer.
Cars take a lot of time and engineering on many different areas involved in vehicles. It probably takes 2 to 4 years to design, test, and begin the production on an assembly line. Once designs, safety, and financing is approved for a car is built and then it is sold at a dealership. The manufacturing process is almost as much of a project as designing the car. It has to be engineered just like anything else and advancement in robotic technology helps almost completely automate the process. Then cars are shipped off to dealers after being completely and sold to customers.
