The Automobile Car No. 6424 was available from 1956 until 1959. It came with two of the premium automobiles that were colored either RED, TURQUOISE, WHITE or YELLOW. There are five variations of this car that has the number to either the left or the right of the heat stamped "LIONEL" inscription on the side. Lionel created the 6424-11 chassis for this car, however, examples have been found that also use the earlier 6511-2 mold. Early issues had the superstructure that held the cars in place attached by the same screw that held the truck plates to the chassis. These early issues had bar-end trucks usually with tabbed couplers, while the later versions had early AAR trucks with disc couplers.
