Hi

Here in the U.S., aluminum was the metal of choice for most of the custom coachbuilder in the Classic Era prior to WWII.
It was a rarer material then, easier to form for one-off and small run bodies. Because it was lighter and less common, considered a somewhat more sophisticated choice for expensive custom coachwork.
