    they are both 1961 Dodges, the Convertible is a Pheonix or Pioneer, I don't think they made Seneca convertibles.
    the four door hardtop wagon is a Polara, post wagons were Seneca, Pioneer and Phoenix. all the wagons had the big ugly tail lights in the quarter panel, as did all the Polara's
    Seneca, Pioneer and Phoenix were variations of the Dodge Dart. they had the small tail lights which you could not see at night, the round tail lights on the convertible were an option.

    they had some fun options like a cross arm, heater delete, and floor shift:

    Z 1961 DODGE (9).jpg
    Z 1961 DODGE (8).jpg

    here's a hardtop painted by Larry Watson:

    saved the best for last, mine.

    Quoted from link below...

    "The Chrysler Corporation certainly didn’t invent the squared-off steering wheel. We know that Gabriel Voisin for one employed the feature on his C6 Laboratorie way back in 1922, and if we look a little harder, surely we can find earlier examples. But Mopar did do its best to attempt to popularize square wheels in the early ’60s, including them on select 1960 though 1964 models."
