Cars are made from metal because it is hard, strong, and inexpensive.

Many early cars were made mostly of wood, but these cars broke apart in accidents and long sharp wood splinters killed people.

Much work has been done on making cars of a variety of different plastics, to varying degrees of success.

That would make cars last way more longer than they do. That would be bad financially for the car industry.
