I have found

the website of a Canadian company that modifies the doors of cars, including adding rear hinged back doors, which I am guessing would make for more room for a driver to load a wheelchair behind them, without having to buy a minivan which is high enough up to be hard to be into.

Has anyone looked into this further? Is it any good?

I am in the U.S. and unsure whether the authorities would allow us to drive a car modified in this way.

Could you reach to close the back doors afterward? Might need a rope system. I like the gullwing idea, plus it would shelter a touch in the rain. Actually it would probably work like a roof with no gutters, straight run off onto you. But they look sweet and would probably make rear access easier. If only the disappearing car door was available
