Western Flyers were supplied by several manufacturers throughout the years. Post pics of your bikes along with the serial numbers.

The seat post looks wide, like 1" diameter, as used by Huffy about the 1990's, but the bike might be even newer than that, and Western Auto may have ceased in early 2000's?
So maybe built in China (straight down tube?).

The year of make might be stamped on the lower half of the goose/swan neck stem.
