Auto Loader Car No. 6414 was produced for 11 years (1956-66) during the post war era. Because of this, there are ten different variations. Many of these variations have to do with the quality of the autos that came with this flat car. In 1958, when the trucks changed from bar-end to AAR, the number moved to the left of the "LIONEL" inscription. The last variation has a BLACK decal with YELLOW letters "6414 AUTO LOADER / EVANS," and this variation is rare. The decals have been reproduced, so caution is advised when purchasing this variation. We’ve shown the early issue of this car above left, and a later issue with four RED autos that have GRAY bumpers to the right.
