Jose,

Yes, there are a number of dual-band and multi-band antennas on the market 
that will work on both 50 MHz & 144 MHz. Also, there are many stations that 
have found that a 2 meter 5/8 wavelength whip will act as a "loaded" 1/4 
wave whip on 6 meters. A friend of mine has been using a Larsen NMO-150 2 
meter 5/8 mobile whip on both 6 & 2 meters for several years now and is very 
happy with it. Many years ago another old friend  used a 6 meter 1/4 wave 
groundplane on both bands. He explained that the antenna acted as a 3/4 
wavelength groundplane on 2 meters. Other commercially available antennas 
designed to operate on both bands can be found on the WWW from Comet, 
Diamond and various others.

I hope this help's.
