(first posted 3/27/2014) A couple of weeks ago, we covered the Dodge Colt lineup of Chrysler’s captive Mitsubishi products with a nine part series on the many variations available (describing both the Galant and Lancer based models). However, we did not include the Plymouth side, for one simple reason: we didn’t have any pictures. Last weekend, during yet another trip to 29 Palms (Located 60 miles northeast of beautiful Palm Springs), I spotted this very lovely example soaking in the desert sun.
In 1971, Chrysler passed out two captive imports to Dodge and Plymouth. Dodge scored the Colt, a Mitsubishi Galant available as a sedan, coupe or wagon. Plymouth received the Cricket, a Hillman Avenger in sedan or wagon. Guess which one caught on here in America? By 1975 the Cricket had faded into obscurity (after selling 41,000 cars over 3 years), while the ’75 Dodge Colt outsold Mazda, Capri, BMW and Saab combined. To solve their Plymouth problem, Chrysler asked Mitsubishi for another compact, and in 1976 Mitsubishi delivered this stylish hatchback to Plymouth dealers.
In ’76, the Dodge Colt was still based on the Mitsubishi Galant, but this Arrow used the smaller Lancer platform. The Lancer platform came in several body styles, and overseas they called this sporty hatchback coupe the Lancer Celeste.
For the first year, the car came to America with a 1,400 or 1,600 cc engine. On these cars, you could identify the engine displacement based on the nameplate. Cars with 1.4 liter engines were labeled the Arrow 140, and the 1,600s came as the Arrow 160. However, later years were just labeled “Arrow” regardless of engine displacement.
As this sharp looking stripe package indicates, our Curbside Classic is the upgraded Arrow GS first offered in 1976. In addition to the stripe package, the GS also offered styled steel wheels, that fancy rear view mirror, pop open quarter glass, and simulated wood trim on the dashboard. Based on the GS stripes, round headlights and four bar cover over the C-pillar glass, our Arrow must be a ’77. The nameplate no longer indicates engine size, but these years offered either a 1,600 or 2,000 cc four. Given the car has an automatic transmission, let’s hope the owner stepped up to the 2 liter option.
Points to the owner for springing for the whitewalls. It helps maintain that seventies vibe dripping off this rocking hatchback. This photo reminds me that the GS package offered chrome bumpers to go with the other upgrades. I’m also reminded the front of this car offers another distinctive seventies styling element.
To reduce the visual impact of those large bumpers, and provide the illusion that the car has additional features, the turn signal assemblies are mounted on the bumper and use a shape that mimics an accessory fog light. In addition to the Plymouth Arrow, we also saw these faux fog lights on the Honda Civic and Mustang II (see examples below).
This somewhat pretentious styling element disappeared fairly quickly, a victim of better integrated bumpers and a buying public growing wise to this not-so-subtle deception.
You may remember that I recently found a Toyota Corolla with forty year old factory stickers on the side glass (link here) . Oddly enough, our Arrow also has factory prep stickers. The driver’s side quarter glass sports this NuCarPrep sticker, which shows no sign of cracking or fading. Very impressive, considering the car currently resides in the high desert, where the sun shines with laser intensity.
The other side includes an emissions specification sticker. I was hoping to use this data to determine engine size, but the sticker applies to both the 1.6 and 2.0 engines. In an ironic turn, the “OK” sticker is the least ok sticker left on the car. By the way, this picture may be the first “Selfie” to appear in Curbside Classic.
Frankly, that selfie is better than this interior shot, but I just had to share that center console. I’m not sure if the base Arrows come with one, but I KNOW that slathered on plastic wood must be a GS exclusive. These little touches were the benefits of an upgraded trim level back in 1977.
In 1978, the Arrow gained square headlights and flush bumper covers, along with an option 2.6 liter engine. Given the light body, this engine package returned very respectable performance (for 1978), and Plymouth christened it the “Fire Arrow.” For the first year, the Fire Arrow came with white paint and a subtle graphics package.
OK, maybe the graphics package wasn’t all that subtle.
Still, I’ll use this garish image to wrap things up. I’m delighted to share an Arrow GS with you, but this Fire Arrow remains a desired but elusive prey, one I hope to post sometime down the road.
Those tail lights look like they could a been put right onto my 85 reliant.
That white car looks exactly like the one owned – except mine rusted into dust. Just want to say that the Plymouth Arrow WAS not (LOL) based off of a Bricklin. I owned a Bricklin 10 year after I owned my sweet as hell Arrow. I would rather have the Arrow.
Do not ever forget – the Arrow was Chrysler’s HOT ROD back in the day when a Corvette could barely choe out 220 HP. The Bricklin? I got that POS because the asshole did not pay me for the repairs. It was beautiful back in the day, but it was fat, heavy and undriveable. I do miss my little Arrow. I traded a (well-rusted) Duster for a (not as quite well rusted) Arrow.
I HATE being reminded of my youth! Make it stop!
Not seen one of these for years,there were a few Colt Celestes in the UK in the 70s and 80s but the UK rust monster saw most of them off
Chrysler’s “Foreign Affairs” always came off as sadder and more desperate than the other members of the Big 3, but I’ve never been able to put my finger on why.
I don’t have a clue why that would be either, having lived through the Buick-Opel-by-Isuzu, the Pontiac Lemans(Daewoo), the Ford Aspire(Kia), the Saturn Astra, Ford’s habitual importation and then abandonment of cars from England and Germany, and Geo. The Colts were just fine in my book, and their buyers were probably the happiest of the captive import owners.
Lemans was the 90s, Aspire was the 90s.
I think for the 1970s hooking up with Mitsubishi is one of the “sadder” hookups. You are basically saying that “We at Chrysler are so terrible at small cars we’re going to look to Misubishi to shave our butts.”
At least Opel was respected in Europe even when they didn’t set the sales charts on fire.
I think Mitsubishi used to actually have a decent reputation in Japan, and for a long time, sold more than Honda did domestically.
My first “new” car was a 76 Arrow 1600, 5 spd, bright yellow with black stripes – it was an absolutely superb vehicle – very well put together, excellent gas mileage, sprightly with the 5 spd.
It’s only weakness was that it wasn’t that good in the snow and as I was about to start my first military assignment at Plattsburgh AFB NY, just north of Lake Placid, I traded it for a 79 Subaru 4WD Wagon. Still miss it……..
I was unaware that they imported them with the 1400 engine – I was under the impression they came with just the 1600, 2000 and later 2600 engines.
Good looking coupe. Metallic brown with orange and white graphics for me.
An attractive little car. I remember the commercials that played the “Me and my Arrow” song from the early 70s.
Think how many of these Chrysler/Mitsubishi would have sold if everyone in the south and midwest had known then what we all know now about Japanese quality from that time period. Pinto, Vega, Monza and the like would have become low volume curiosities instead of these.
hahaha, that commercial was the first thing that popped into my head. BTW the graphics are 70’s subtle
I would LOVE to find one of these. A friend’s sister had a Fire Arrow in the early ’80s and it was a great car.
Another friend, a hard-core Mopar guy and former drag racer, says he has one stashed in one of his garages in Milwaukee. I have never seen it, but I may just have to give him a call…
I had one exactly like the white one and also a black one. I loved them both. The black one was a five speed. Superb!
Seems like the whole ‘turn signals that look like foglights’ styling gimmick began with another Chrysler product, the 1964 Plymouth Barracuda. While there were exceptions, most of the A-body derivatives seemed to have stuck with it, all the way through 1972.
Even the E-body Barracuda reverted back to them in its final years from 1972-1974.
At least they had a true function. They may have looked like fogs but still served as a proper turn signal. Nobody topped Ford’s Maverick Grabber and Mustang Mach 1 in the “most cynical lamps” contest. The ad even refers to them as “simulated driving lamps”.
Imagine a fixture that takes up as much space as a regular fog lamp, and is even controlled by a separate switch like a regular fog or driving lamp, but provides none of the utility of such, failing to equal the usefulness and/or intensity of even a decent cornering lamp. The Maverick boys called theirs “Sportlamps”.
And that saved what, three cents per car compared to either putting in real fog lamps or wiring them so that one set was turn signals (only) and the other separate parking lights?
Most cars made in the last few decades with factory fog/driving lights are decorative, save for the handfull that actually got something decent like Marchals as an option. They make no difference what so ever other than make the car look more “loaded”
This was the only Japanese car that I could get my size fifteens into the pedal area to drive a stick! What a suprise that was. Now I am limited to old bugs and big pick ups. I haven’t tried to drive a three pedal in quite some time.
Great find Dave! Some much-needed appreciation for Plymouth around here.
The Arrow is a very underrated car indeed. I love the slant of the roofline, and the upward curve of the rear windows. Those louvered rear quarter windows have to be some of the most interesting and well-executed ever!
I never realized before that there was a window there – I always though it was just a fake vent.
Mitsubishi Celeste Havent seen a live example in ages, I didnt know they came in Plymouth too though I’m not surprised its sure in nice condition for a 70s Mitsi.
I think these were all rusted out by the time I was born in ’77 (at least in the salt region). I wish there were more around here; I think they look nice for what they are. Every time I see something like this, it makes me think of watching Chips as a kid (which is an absolutely cheesy, awful, but still somehow endearing show if you watch it as an adult).
These were actually sold until 1980, but to your point, they had probably all rusted away by the time you were old enough to be aware of car makes and models. They probably didn’t sell in huge numbers to begin with, either.
I’m old enough to be aware of these being around (I was born in 1970), but I can’t remember the last time I saw one here in Massachusetts.
There used to be an almost identical Dodge version that was someone’s daily driver here until recently. Sadly I heard that it went for scrap.
I take it the Dodge Arrow was a Canada-only model, under the longstanding principle that the two dealer networks maintained by each of the Big Three in Canada had to have equivalent models to sell, in case only one network was available in some areas. The same reason why there were Plymouth Colts in Canada years before there were Plymouth Colts in the U.S., and other north-of-the-border oddities like Fargo trucks, Plodges, the 1960-66 “Valiant” sold in identical form by both Plymouth and Dodge dealers, the M-body Plymouth Caravelle, and the Chrysler Neon we saw the other day.
To my knowledge, there was never a Dodge version of the Arrow in the U.S. The Arrow was a Plymouth exclusive, and the RWD versions of the Colt were a Dodge exclusive.
Wow a mopar (sort of) that Ive never seen before. Awesome.
And YOU call yourself a MOPAR guy??
Just kidding. We all snooze once in awhile. lol
Wow, I haven’t seen one of these in years. The Fire Arrow was popular in SCCA Pro Rally in the early 80’s
There is a Plymouth Fire Arrow GT ‘replica’ rally car locally, I gather the idea was to convert a local-market Chrysler Lancer fastback to be able to run the 2.6 engine instead of the 1.6L.
In the US, the car came was introduced in 1976 or 1977. The base engine was 1.6 liter, optional was 2.0 liter.
Car and Driver commented the 2.0 had better pick-up, but the “extra weight” (50-75 lbs?) on the front wheels made the car understeer too much.
The 2.0 liter has the ‘Silent Shaft” treatment–not sure about the 1.6 liter.
Later on, say 1980 or so, just before the end of the car’s life in the US, it was availaibe with a 2.4 or 2.5 liter “Silent Shaft”, the “Fire Arrow”.
Thanks for another memory of one of the little flickers of light during the depths of the Malaise Era
Nice find and write-up. I’ve been surprised to not find one of these in Eugene.
We did cover some of the Plymouth Mitsus during our Colt cavalcade, as many of them were also branded as Colts, starting with the FWD era. And I purposely left out others because it seemed we had more than enough, especially according to one of our more vocal commenters
There have been fair number of selfies at CC too. It’s hard not to when shooting a close-up detail on a window or chrome bumper. Maybe we should do a selfie compilation post.
Speaking of odd-ball Mitsubishis, remember this car that I posted as the “mystery sedan” a couple of
