It's a Subaru Sambar, which is based on the Subaru 360. They were used by various parks departments and large manufacturing facilities in the US.

Now that needs to be in the circus carrying all the clowns around.
I thought in the first pic it was parked on the other side of the truck.

When I went to college in Japan, I rode in the backseat of one as these guys were driving way to fast thru little mountain villages, way too close to other veicles and guard rails. I felt like I was in a scary video game.
