Ive always wanted a car with a body made of bronze.
It would get a nice patina on it and last forever with no rust.

Bronze has Low structural strength.
Your bronze skin will need anti-electrolysis fasteners. It will also need special grounding every ten to 12 inches to prevent localized eddy currents that result in electrolysis damage.
May break apart instead of deforming to absorb high speed impact energy.
Needs more maintenance than painted steel to look good.
The girl in the picture will come to sit on your bronze hood. Her shoes will scratch your bronze.
Thin bronze flanges get metal fatigue whereas the steel alloy doesn't. You will need special engineering approaches for your bronze car skin over the steel frame.
Reparing damaged bronze skill will always be a FULL CUSTOM body shop experience because there are no bronze skins sold by manufacturers or available at the junkyard. Repairs require tricky lapping followed by pounding out and then sanding to make level. Really sucky expensive because this is so close to being a blacksmith making human armor.
