A pair of horse heads protrude from each side of the car. The motion of this stock car traveling on the rails creates the illusion of the "bobbing horse heads." This is an easy item to locate as it was included in many sets offered by Lionel in the early and mid-1960s. Features The 6473 contains the following features: unpainted yellow body with red or maroon lettering, AAR trucks plus a total of four horse heads -- two white and two brown. For the first few years of production the car was equipped with two operating couplers. Sometime around 1963, one operating and one fixed coupler became the norm.
