Anything we say here is probably speculation (you would need to ask a lawyer to get the proper response), but having said that, I wonder:

Would you be replicating the exact same shape of the car? Would there be a logo or visible brand?

If the answer to these two is no, and you will only use the car for inspiration, I (personally) don't believe it's a problem. The model would be done by you. I don't think you are violating copyright by showing, for example, a brand in a short film or movie (except if you portray the brand in a very negative way, but then the line is also not very clear).

This sounds more like a copyright related issue, than a graphic design issue. So it's probably not appropriate for GraphicDesign.
