Must be a kit or home build of some sort judging from the wipers and the panel gaps.

The blue one has no running gear or interior. I guess the silver one at Petco actually works. Kinda weird, though.

Based on the grill shape and ridiculously sharp lines, I woulda guessed it as a Cadillac styling exercise.
