You really can't compare sheet metal thicknesses of new cars to old cars. Much has changed in the auto industry. The steel is about the same or better than it was "back then" and the manufacturers are using thinner steels to save weight and cost. I have a 1929 Ford Model A sitting in my garage. I like to thump it's fenders when I walk by it to see just how thick the steel is compared to modern vehicles.
