Just back from a Camaro and Friends Show. Quite a variety. Here's a few I knew the owner of this one when he was a kid.  Whats with these 340 owners?     You could eat off these motors!  Thanks to you guys I even recognized this!  Everything from 1913 Fords to 2004 Dodge Rams. And the batteries died!  I have more but still only made it maybe a quarter of the way through. Caught up on old times. Might have to talk to Mikey about that Arrow  |

Ahh.. right. ;D You mean the convertibles and 396's? (OK so I'm more a MOPAR guy) I should have a couple. I'll upload them tonight. Depressing bit was running out of battery power just when I got to the Ramblers and Rover and the rest of the GTX and AMX and the 68 and 69 Mustang Fastbacks and the Ford GT  and the Thinderbirds and Belairs and Impalas and Beetles and little Rams.........(must remember to breathe ;D) |

American cars aren't normally my thing, but some of those things in the pics are really nice! The owners have really spent some time polishing those engine bays up!

Aha. Makes sense now. I know the Galant and Lancer too had a case of badge engineering. The Sapparo was sold as a dodge though wasn't it?

Yeah, the Mitsi Lancer Celeste was sold as the Plymouth Arrow but IMO didn't quite look as nice as they colour coded the grill section and a few other bits and it lost a bit of style in doing so.
However, the American market got a camper version of the Arrow I'm not sure whether the Japanese market did.
The Mitsi Mirage Hatchback was sold as the Plymouth Champ.
The Lancer Galant as the Plymouth Sapporo
and the old Mitsi L200 type utility was sold as the Plymouth Arrow Minisport Truck ;D
I'm sure there's more but I can't think of 'em currently
The Plymouth Arrow came in some hideous paintjobs and slightly later on there was a Plymouth Fire Arrow!! too much DnD for the American naming department methinks!

Hindustan make badge engineered Mitsubishi cars, but unfortunatley they're more modern, they save the rear wheel drive for the Ambassador (Morris Oxford) and Contessa (Vauxhall FE Victor) |
