I purchased 2 cars in 2015 but did not count the sales tax at year end. Can I add it in this year for 2016?

Can I declare the sales tax on both cars for the tax year 2016 even though they were purchased in 2015?  I did not declare sales tax on the cars for tax year 2015.

No. You can not do that. That can be claimed only on an  original or amended 2015 tax return.
