For one point: What is this, and who modified it as seen here?

Only a correct, complete and specific answer will earn a point; tag-on's to other guesses will not. So, be specific and complete!

Customized Ranchero? Rear fins look like '57 Ford. Headlights don't match. They look like a T-Bird...'58, '59 ish...

Still looking...

A-ha...found it. Richard Lee Tiago's '57 Ford Ranchero custom, originally built by Tom Sellman at Ward's Body Shop in Alameda CA. This incarnation was built by Joe Ortiz.

The car / truck was originally a more conventional custom, built for Tiago by Tom Selman at Ward's Body Shop.

After an accident, Tiago and Ortiz drew up the plans for the more radical Kustom seen in the puzzle pics.
