The Plymouth Arrow was an extension of the Mitsubishi Lancer/Dodge Colt known as the Mitsubishi Celeste in Japan. It was also known as the Dodge Arrow in Canada. It was a small 2-door coupe.
The Arrow was released in September 1975 as a 1976 model. Transmission types included four and five-speed manual transmissions and a three-speed automatic. A 1.4 L I4 engine was standard with an optional 1.6 L I4. For 1978, the styling was freshened and a sporty variant called the Fire Arrow was offered, which had special decals as well as a 2.6 L I4 engine. The Arrow was discontinued in 1980.
It was also sold in Australia up to 1980 (with some 1980 imported stocks still available in 1981) in fully imported right-hand drive form (Japan like Australia is a right-hand drive country) as the Chrysler LB and LC Lancer Hatchback Coupe, where it only came fitted with the 1.6 L 4G32 engine. The LC only came with a 5-speed manual transmission (the LB had a 4-speed manual). The Australian cars still had arrow decals on the hood and stripes on the flanks, but these were less flamboyant than on those sold in the North American market. Australian cars also had different bumpers and steel sports wheels. It was one of the last imported Mitsubishi vehicles sold in Australia under the Chrysler name; in 1980, Mitsubishi took over Chrysler's Australian operations [1]and the LC Lancer was replaced by the Mitsubishi Cordia.
The Celeste was also assembled in Mitsubishi's Philippines factory [2] and sold in large numbers in the Philippines from CKD (completely knocked down) kits.
