I would use the "Magic Wand" tool initially. With a bit of luck you should get a dotted line reasonably close around around your car's outline. By holding down Ctrl and clicking close to the outline you ought to be able to adjust the bits of the outline that don't fit, thus refining the mask. Then you should be able to >right click, invert selection< and use the fill tool with black.
This is all from memory, lightning101 may be able to show you more betterer.
