Default If the ideal lenght of an antenna is 1/4 Wave lenght then wayare the Car Cellular antennas are longer then this ?

There is a simple answer, and others have given good advice:

The premis of the question is incorrect. A simple antenna such as a
collinear using a quarter wave with a phasing coil and topped with
another half wavelength segment will give power gain by modifying the
radiation pattern.
That statement should work better than OK.
