Many times I come across sentences that uses が instead of の to indicate
possessiveness.

Example:  
彼 **が** 車 instead of 彼 **の** 車.

The dictionary says that が can also "indicate possessive (esp. in literary
expressions)", but why not to use の?

This confuses me a lot. Is there a nuance using が or の to possessiveness?

question
particle-の particle-が possession
Trying to understand the use of が as の
It is not a question of possession.

I'll show it to you using your example.

Let's say : He has built a car.

彼が車を造りました。

If you want to say more about the car e.g.’ The car he built got famous in the
whole country.’, it comes to the change your question is about. The sentence
will be like this. 彼の造った車が、全国で有名になりました。
