 So apparently this customizing style is called "slab" and appears to be a local phenomenon around Houston: Slab Culture

"Slab car styles are greatly influenced by the Houston music culture and show real love the American-made cars (sometimes exaggerating their design features). One of such exaggerations can be clearly seen on the most iconic slab culture feature – the swangas (rims that look like classic Cadillac rims from 1983 and 1984 but with bigger "elbows")."

Here is a screenshot of the car above seen in a later state: It meanwhile grew some unflattering horns and some even more unflattering "swangas" - so that's what they mean by those bigger "elbows". Hm... Always loads of junk in the trunk, as it's never closed?!?

I still don't know what model year (Fleetwood?) Eldorado that originally was, but maybe that helps for further identification. In any case I sincerely wish them kustomizers a speedy recovery from whatever they suffered from when creating THIS!

I think this is getting out of control [:rolleyes] How do you avoid this with car going by in narrow two lane street? :p

 The amber running/turn lights are a 1976 feature, but they could have been added to a 1975 model.
