Actually, I think that the Arrow was a badge engineered Sunbeam Alpine...
Chrysler bought out Rootes in the mid 60's (hence the Cricket/Avenger.) I
recall seeing an Arrow "parked" next to one these Alpines at a local
boneyard about 20 years ago. Being familiar with the series I-V Alpines and
the Tiger, I was surprised to see it badged as an Alpine GT, and according
to the paint on the windscreen, it was a 1969 model. I also recall seeing
photos of this car in one of my Sunbeam books, but can't find it right now.

Nope. The Plymouth Arrow was made by Mitsubishi. The hi-performance model,
called the Fire Arrow can still be seen running performance rallies and
autocross.
