A special body of Fiat 127 ???
No sir.
Another US-american electric car?
Looks like a Marathon C-300 electric. The clothes of the models suggest a late seventies model.

The hairdo on the model standing behind the driver's door suggests that she may have tried to jumpstart it, and got the cables reversed...

Absolutely correct!
This company produced a series of electric golf carts and small industrial vehicles before entering the on-road electric vehicle market in the 1970's. While most production occurred in Montreal (Canada), a second manufacturing facility was established in South Carolina to service the expected demand in the U.S. Marathon supplied an electric-powered television camera platform for the Olympic marathon race at the 1976 Summer Olympic games held in Montreal. Prior to folding in the 1980's, after the 1970's demand for EVs had pretty much dried up in North America, this firm did produce a unique mobile banking kiosk for use inside Mirabel airport in 1982. This vehicle could be driven from gate to gate to meet passengers of incoming and departing aircraft to offer currency exchange services.
