We'd probably need more photos if you want years, but, what I see are: Buick, E-type Jaguar, Mercedes SL, and not sure about #4 without more pics.

If the Bottoms all Look the same since fyrffytr1 I'd'd the Buick.
I'd say they are all Friction Cars.

Friction Cars can be Pushed across a Carpet and when you Let go it will Move.
I Think the older ones You Pulled Backwards and Let Go & They Moved Forward.
at least That's how I remember my First one.

they have been around since the 50's at least and were approximately 20 inches long





1950's
