Ok, I guess my memory is right then, they were red Montereys, they all look good.
Are they the same year or is the mens from the year after the womens and if they are both the same year or the opposite them maybe there can finally be a way to figure out when was the year they changed the dropouts or if it was a mid year dropout re-design if someone didn't already know?

Going to try to post mine in the next hour or so. I know how to I just have find time in desktop publising... Boring.
That is a nice one.
Some of these have the original Persons seats, I still have mine but it is too rusted inside to use and the front of it is cut by the seat plate.
(Sorry I can't remember that actual name for that part of the seat.)

Here's my old tan Murray Monterey that I sold(wish I hadn't) then my blue Siesta Key with before and after pics.
don't know if this one is a westport, just know its a Murray. I've built a couple of Murrays in the past and I have to say that every time I do, I'm always amazed by the result. These are cool bikes!!!
Most of the Murray's I find are older, neglected, and rusting, but they always shine up clean as a penny, and have made for some memorable builds.
Here's my newest Murray.

I really like the color/tire combo on this. Those tires just seem to 'work' on a silver or gray bike.
Nice job!

I like that blue one must be from 95, 96 and newer because the chainguard sticker was changed maybe in 95 or 96 and the color too, mine that I got in late 1995 for free I think is a 94 judging by the last two numbers on my stem and the last two on the Sears model number sticker says 94 and my recent I think is a 96.
Nice fork on that last bike.

Before:
After:
Cut rear fender in half and made 2 fenders out of it, painted them black because they were rusted.
Bike was built for my uncle
Original front fender ended up as the rear fender on this bike:
