Two cars, but basically just one answer (except for the year being different). What are they, and what's "special" about them?

OK, since there's been a week of no activity on this from the Experts, I'm moving it to the Pros.

Shame to have to do that, 'cause this really isn't that hard.  :-\

Correct!

What's "special" about them is that they were special-order cars made after the company stopped producing cars in 1918 and started concentrating on trucks.
