    Forgot to mention that I've got one of The Snake's Childs & Albert connecting rods, courtesy of a friend who drives the oil-recycling truck that hits all the NorCal race tracks. Pretty cool wall decoration. #celeste

    @Murilee Martin: It sure is! I have a Brooks rod and piston assembly that I got from my friend who was the bottom end guy for Dale Creasy Jr.'s funny car. I used to keep it on my mantle. #celeste

    The main thing I remember about these cars is that in one of their ad campaigns they used the insidious & thoroughly annoying Harry Nilsson song: "Me and My Arrow", which he composed for an animated show called "The Point". Now, just seeing this thread reminded me of that, and I know that stupid song is going to be in my head all morning until I get rolling to run a few errands & have the chance to blast some Dream Theater in the car at 127 db in order to clear my synapses.

    I couldn't find one of the commercials containing that song, but here's a YouTube link to a version of it, if you would like to be annoyed along with me... #celeste

    @HoonThatFerrari: I always thought of the song as charming, but then again I liked Nilsson and can listen to "Coconut" ("she put the lime in the coconut and drank 'em both up") without wincing. Now that I've planted that annoyingly catchy song into your head, maybe you'll forget "Arrow". Maybe I need help.

    There were some people who wanted "Me and My Arrow" banned from the radio. Apparently, they misheard the lyric "Me and my arrow/straighter than narrow" as "straight up and narrow". Nasty little uptight imaginations set to work and interpreted the lines to mean someone talking about their erection.

    The Mitsu-based Arrow was not the first time Chrysler inflicted the name upon us. From 1968 to 1970, a version of the boxy Hillman Hunter was imported as the Sunbeam Arrow. It was pretty dreadful.

    @tonyola: "Lime in the Coconut", huh? Great... thanks.... now that's going to require a lot more than blasting Dream Theater to clear my synapses - that's going to take plugging the Strat directly into the Marshall & wailing on Ritchie Blackmore compositions 'til 3am. #celeste

    Interesting how this Arrow actually looks like a little Javelin/AMC/Eagle mixed up with a Japanese Honey Bee--and they didn't even have PhotoShop back then! #celeste

    Back in the day, my parents owned an Arrow and a Pacer Station Wagon simultaneously. Between the Pacer's, then, deeply uncool appearance and the Arrow restrictive back seat and lack of headroom, my teenaged ass chose to walk. A lot.

    @SCROGGS!: Scroggs- see my previous post about inheriting an Arrow with a new spousal unit back in 82. My other car at the same time was a Pacer wagon!


    I'm pretty certain we aren't related, in spite of a connection like that.

    Somehow, that car looks like it really captures the essence of a Sacramento car. You could imagine a purple 1970 GTO without a hood and a blower as high as the roof for dream Sacramento car, or the green dodge neon that is the down to earth Sacramento car, but this one seems just right. A real Sac Town ride.

    @bzr: The description mentioned that the contributor found the Arrow "parked right across the street from his '76 "Hurst Edition" AMC Pacer". I assumed that was the Pacer in question.

    I'm seriously doubting Ah-nod could get his wide self into this tiny thing. Surely it would be listing to the port side--possibly scraping the pavement and casting sparks.

    Plymouth Acclaim - it's more inconspicuous than Waldo, I'm pretty sure he drove one in Kindergarden Cop, and it's got Volvo-grades of boxiness (something I'm sure that, as a Hummer driver, makes Arnold feel comfortable).
