Apart from a few unusual cars that have body panels made of plastic, aluminum or another metal, the vast majority of cars have body parts made from mild steel sheeting. Mild steel is mostly made from iron with a tiny amount of carbonmixed in it. If too much carbon is in the steel it becomes very brittle. Too little or none at all and it becomes too soft. In mild steel around 0.1 - 0.5% is carbon which keeps the steel strong without it becoming brittle.
