They have to predate 1937; the date the photos were taken.

Don't know on the first one looks to be built on a truck chassis.  Maybe White?  Pic is dated 1933.

The second one is definitely a 1937 LaSalle.  They were popular as funeral car chassis. One just like that was written off in one of the early James Bond movies!

Thank You ! and thank you for being able to make out that blurry date = I strained my eyeballs out and gave up.
