It's a 4-door car that has been converted into a pick-up truck of sorts. I think it is a circa 1981 Buick Electra.

Not in 1981, I mean, yes it's a wagon and Buick called them "Estate Wagon", but not just "Estate" ("Estate" was used on the Chevy Caprice Estate but never without the word "Wagon" following it on Buicks) and this car is an Electra Estate Wagon.

To end the confusion about this model...
From 1940 to 1964, there were Super, Roadmaster, Special, Century, Invicta and LeSabre Estate Wagons. From 1965 to 1969, there were no full size Buick wagons and the mid-size wagons were called Special Wagon and Sportwagon (or SportWagon in some years). In 1970, Buick used the Estate Wagon name again on it's new full size wagon. The car borrowed trim and mechanical components from the LeSabre, Wildcat and Electra 225 models but it was just named "Estate Wagon".
From 1970 to 1974, all Estate Wagons had mostly Electra 225 exterior trim (like emblems and 4 portholes) but interior trim was more similar to cheaper LeSabre. In 1975-76, both interior and exterior trim was shared with the LeSabre and all Estate Wagons had 3 portholes like the LeSabre. In 1977-1979, the base Estate Wagon continued to share it's trim with the LeSabre but there was a new Estate Wagon Limited which had 4 portholes like the Electra 225 and upgrade interior trim (not the same as in the Electra 225 however). In 1980, the base Estate Wagon was renamed LeSabre Estate Wagon and the Estate Wagon Limited was now the Electra Estate Wagon. 1980 was the year where portholes were discontinued on the LeSabre so the LeSabre Estate Wagon didn't have portholes. The Electra lost the 225 designation that year too as it's overall lenght was no more close to 225 inches. The 4 portholes remained on all the 1980 Electra models and that included the Estate Wagon. In 1981, only the Electra Park Avenue had portholes so the other Electra models (including the Estate Wagon) didn't have them. It was still easy to tell an Electra from a LeSabre as they had different grilles. Unlike the other Electra and LeSabre models that went to smaller bodies with FWD in 1985 and 1986 respectively, the LeSabre and Electra Estate Wagons remained on the old RWD bodies.
In 1990, the LeSabre Estate wagon was dropped and the Electra Estate wagon was rebadged simply "Estate Wagon" again! The finally redesigned 1991 model was called Roadmaster Estate Wagon and was available only with the base Roadmaster interior trim until this model was cancelled in 1996.

^ Yep. To end its life with ripped off roof in a movie about social justice zombies (they eat rich people and let poor people go) is awful.
