Aluminum Car Parts long ago

Most of the parts made for cars (automobiles) are made from aluminum. Aluminum is a light and strong metallic alloy. Aluminum is corrosion resistant and also durable. When cars were first on the road, most of the parts were made from iron or steel. It was thought at the time that steel and iron were strong and that parts for cars needed to be strong. It would surprise most people the percentage of aluminum car parts are in many automobiles.
