Blatant copy II

You know those opening side panels in Grenadier... apparently not an original idea

In 1933; Pierce-Arrow with it's one of five built, experimental, very futuristic "Silver-Arrow" really had spare wheel locations sorted. These cabinets were both sides of the car as near as possible to the front tyres for quick change convenience.
Amazing. Ditched in 1934 though https://t.co/EkDmP82rXk https://twitter.com/Si_Browse/status/1280742533430198272?s=20

A door which opens to reveal stuff behind it. I'm not up on IP law, but hardly patent infringement is it?! What next, where did they come up with the idea for a wheel at each corner?
