In 1935, the first Toyota automobile engine was produced. The following year, Toyota’s first car, the Model A1, and first truck, the Model G1, were produced. These early Toyota vehicles were nearly duplicates of Chevrolet vehicles of the time. They copied the design of Chevrolet’s overhead 6 cylinder engine, gearbox, and chassis. In World War 2, allied forces that captured Toyota’s vehicles were able to repair them using Chevrolet parts.[1]

And this type of thing still continues to this day. Though not with cars.
