    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

    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

    OMG the cutaway was to Steve Lawrence and Edie Gorme!

    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

    I've been a witness to several "distract the judges with sex" attempts. None were as effective as her "helping" inspect the engine in that Camaro.

    Its great to see she's still in good shape, a little frame like that is bound to get banged up racing, even with all that work done she's not looking bad for an 11 year old... Supra.
