This is the 6th picture down from the top. I have highlighted something different on the extreme lower section of the loading sill.

Mildly interesting that this one stayed in production for so long with so few casting changes. Did it ever come with racing cars and if so, which ones?

Essentially no it did not come with cars. If you brought the G-4 Gift Set you had several cars and rather misleadingly the Sears mail order company showed a set during 1969, that did come with 4 cars as shown below.

This is my M6. I'm looking for the advertised 4 cars to go with it.
