I can barely see Markateer on the front there. It's an electric car(t).

Yes! It is a late 1940s marketeer Model D. Numerous companies made similar vehicles in California. They were the predecessors to the golf cart (which Marketeer made many models of). The huge Marketeer factory was in Redlands, California. These were street legal vehicles used mainly in resort areas. Here is a restored one.

First thought was an old Cushman, but they don't have doors- Marketeers do.

First thing I thought of. I guess it's not quite right.

It looks like a Cushman mail cart to me. I used to have a couple of Cushman vintage golf carts I used to tinker with.

1947 marketeer electric micro car. It has a windshield and a hood at one point. Probably on the fareway somewhere.
