Variation J: Produced in the last year of the post war period for Glen Uhl, a Lionel Service Station owner in Akron Ohio. Production of this car did not exceed 200 units. The car is not numbered and it has late open journal AAR trucks that have one disc coupler and one solid non-operating coupler. The common rubber-stamped lettering on the auto rack has been replaced with a BLACK background and YELLOW san-serif "6414 AUTO LOADER" lettered decal. There is no anti-skid detail on either the upper or lower auto rack. The decals have been reproduced, but forgeries are difficult to construct due to the additional changes to this car. Came with four RED autos with GRAY bumpers that match the color of the car. |
