I have a Lionel 6414 AutoLoader given to me by a relative but it is missing the 4 cars that go on it. I have looked on eBay and a few other sites and wondered if anyone here had the cars. Also what is the difference with the ones that have gray bumpers as opposed to chrome bumpers? How can you tell which cars came with the auto loader?

Nick, your question posed in the thread title is very ambiguous and not very clear. You'd be more likely to get the answer you want by rewording the title such as "Question on original 6414 Auto Loader car load." There are people here very knowledgeable on postwar products.
I know there is a slight difference in length between the original PW automobile load and the reproduction cars that have been made over the years. Lionel recently has made a 4-pack of cars for the auto loader car, and I would assume they're using the original dies for these cars, but whatever other changes have been made (such as the bumpers) I don't know, but I'm sure others do.
Here's a great site with the kind of information you're looking for.
I have the 6414 version A which means it needs the cars with chrome bumpers. If anyone has these I would appreciate it if you would let me know. I know Tandem has them but I am trying to find an original set without breaking the bank.
