I have to own some, late ‘60s,

Compare to ‘90s-now materials, was my point. When I posed this question on BLANKING popular social media outlet (THE BLANK will remain nameless, not helping it) the repliers kept not answering the question & stating the body’s made of too heavy materials to do it.

Car bodies today are still made out of sheet metal and plastic. Sheet metal is the same today as it was in the 60s, and while the plastic is better, it isn’t lighter. Moreover, cars are bigger and heavier for crash protection. If you’re talking about composites like carbon fiber, well… we’re not making car bodies out of carbon fiber.
