They look to be Athearn to me Ken.
Athearn also produced for Lionel and they made a auto transporter for them too. I have no images of it, but it was the same car as that, but it may have been lettered differently and would have the (L) somewhere. Otherwise that looks like an Athearn car with Athearn Cadillacs

Oh well - since it's not the right item I'll have to PM you my address so you can be rid of them from your collection. =P

Ken,
I have seen that one sell pretty high, even as an Athearn. Typically ~$20 or more.

I *thought* these were valuable... one of these is next under the knife for my freight car madness of the week.

Seems to me I read somewhere that Tyco used the Athearn model Auto-loader and Cadillacs? for it's promo pictures, but came out with the '68 Camaro and AMX cars for the actual car. Not sure on that , but I thought someone posted pics of it sometime in the past. Either way, it's a nice piece, regardless of the box it came in.

| They did use Athearn autos, shortened so six would fit on the car.

Nice item Frank.
