From what I can gather it's a 1960s golf cart/utility cart platform. More than likely it's the same platform but were assembled differently for different purposes. A great example of a similar framed cart from that era is the George Barris built Bob Hope golf cart. Do a Google search of "Bob Hope Golf Cart" and you'll seen what I mean. In typical George Barris fashion (Adam West era Batmobile, The Munster's car, etc), it's quite over-the-top.
Value wise? Not likely more than a few hundred dollars. It's neat, but it's a work horse, and not a toy for a collector.
