The Plymouth Arrow was first introduced in 1974 as an extension of the
Mitsubishi Lancer lineup also known as the Lancer Celeste in Japan.
This features the same drivetrain and underpinnings in a more
attractive fastback body style. Since 1969, Dodge has been importing
the rear-wheel-drive Lancer, which is the Dodge Colt. Just then the
Plymouth Cricket ceased to be imported in 1974, while the Chrysler then
re-badged the Lancer Celeste as the Plymouth Arrow.
These three
hatchback models were known to be in the original lineup, where its
base models were equipped with 1.4 or 1.6-liter engine and a 4-speed
manual transmission. They wore the “Arrow 140” and “Arrow 160”
nameplates. The GS model includes special badges, striping and interior
trim, and a 3-speed automatic transmission. The GT model that was at
the top-of-the-line, includes sports mirrors, a 5-speed manual
transmission, a sports seats, console, and a special striping. Most
observers assumed that the Plymouth would get its own version of the
Colt. In 1976, Plymouth had its Mitsubishi import: the Plymouth Arrow,
which features another single body style, has a very attractive
fastback coupe style, and offers a sporty flair.
The Plymouth Arrow's drivetrain and chassis which is shared by the
Colt, has a 92.2 wheelbase, which is, 4.2 inches less than its Dodge
sibling. The choices of engines were between the standard of 1600 cc
and an optional of 2000 cc overhead cam four-cylinder hemis, but the
smaller engine was available in manual and automatic transmissions with
four to five speed.
