Boulevard Machine Works was an American manufacturer based in North Hollywood, California, that operated from the late 1940s until 1966. The company specialized in the production of electric vehicles, particularly minicars and golfmobiles, catering to a niche market during a time when electric mobility was gaining interest.

The company offered several models, including the Boulevard, a two-seater vehicle equipped with four 1/6 horsepower electric motors, one for each wheel. Another model, known as the Cutie, was a single-seater that featured one motor located at the front and another at the back. The Cutie Junior was a simplified version, utilizing a single rear motor. These models reflected the company's focus on compact and efficient electric transportation.

In 1966, Boulevard Machine Works expanded its offerings by introducing a larger electric roadster. This model was notable for its dual motors and utilized eight 3-cell batteries, which allowed it to achieve a claimed maximum speed of 70 miles per hour. The company’s innovative approach to electric vehicle design contributed to the early development of electric mobility solutions in the United States.
