Identifying vintage bikes
The first one is a 1920-1940's CCM road bike its got the double bar top tube style. Its single speed and has coaster brakes. There's not much things on it. i cant find any details on the web.
The other one is a vintage road bike thats probably from 1970's
Its blue and has bladed down tube and seat tube.
THe deraiulers are Shimano Atlus and has this delta brake style thing. Its not campy but looks very close to it.
I know its not much details to go on but i searched a few websites trying to identify the bikes but i am totally lost...
This is a Sekine conversion that went into a car. Wheels were fine but frame doesn't look fine. Is it rideable or should i get new frame?

What kind of rear hub does the CCM use? If it's a New Departure, you might be able to very roughly date the bicycle based on the hub used.

that front brake is a Shimano AX (probably the 600 version), but no idea who did a "flattened" tubing like that (looks like a fast-and-dirty attempt at aerodynamics), probably Japanese.
I'd say the Sekine is a goner.
and not to nit-pick but: if your going to show just one pic, make it from the drive-side, that supplies more info.

The CCM appears to be a Motorbike, though I don't recall the top tubes sloping down at the front. They were produced over an extremely long period. There should be a serial number on the seat tube, probably near the top. Does if it have a head badge? If so, please provide pic.
The aero bicycle is circa 1981-1983, though I'm not sure of the manufacturer. Given that the other bicycles are Canadian, my guess would be be a Velosport Aero. Again, the serial number would help. This one should be on the bottom bracket shell.
As for that Sekine, I concur, trash it. There's a sustantial buckle in the underside of the down tube. That frame could collaspe withoput warning.

Are those 26 inch wheels on that CCM? The big gap that it appears is there makes me wonder if originally it took 28 inch wheels.
That style of frame was indeed produced for a long time. I've seen them as old as early 1930s era.
