Could be a '55 or '56 Chevy with those custom taillights; even a '55 Pontiac wouldn’t be out of the question. The key here is that swept-back fender skirt; can only be a '56 Chevy. ---

That looks like someone took one of those old 80’s Voyager/Caravan minivans that were everywhere and tried to turn it into a Scion xB. Or like a cartoon version of a Scion xB. ---

Yeah, when I saw it I thought: “Hard to believe that was ever considered stylish.” But, maybe it wasn’t - just “old-school” money. ---
