How it works

This phrase consists of an onomatopoeic adverb ズラリ (zurari) meaning 'in a long line, in a row', followed by the particle と (to) which marks adverbs. This combines with the verb 並ぶ (narabu - to line up, to stand in a row), and finally the noun 車 (kuruma - car) which is modified by the preceding clause. The structure describes 'cars that are lining up in a neat, long row'.
