The Arrow was released in September 1975 as a 1976 model. The Arrow was a rear-wheel drive car utilizing a solid rear axle and leaf springs in the rear, with MacPherson struts in the front. Originally called laminated or carriage spring, a leaf spring is a simple form of spring, commonly used for the suspension in The MacPherson strut is a type of car suspension system widely used in modern vehicles named after Earl S Transmission types included four and five-speed manual transmissions and a three-speed automatic. A manual transmission (also known as a stick shift or just 'stick' 'straight drive' or standard transmission) is a type of transmission used in An automatic transmission (commonly "AT" or "Auto" is an Automobile Gearbox that can change Gear ratios automatically as the vehicle A 1. 6 L I4 engine was standard with an optional 2. The straight-4 or inline-4 engine (often abbreviated I4 or L4) is a four cylinder Internal combustion engine with all four cylinders 0 L I4. It was produced in various trim levels including the 160, GS and GT. For 1979, the styling was freshened and a sporty variant called the Fire Arrow was offered, which had special decals, sporty interior as well as a 2.6 L I4 engine and four-wheel disc brakes. The Mitsubishi Astron or 4G5 engine, is a series of Straight-4 Internal combustion engines first built by Mitsubishi Motors in 1972 The Fire Arrow had one of the best horsepower/weight ratios among U. S. production cars at the time because of its light weight.
Other sporty exterior finishes were offered, such as the Arrow Jet package. The Arrow Jet paint package was an eye-catching two-tone finish, typically in spit-fire orange and black. The entire car was spit-fire orange, but the entire bottom half of the car was covered in a solid flat black stripe with the words "Arrow Jet" stenciled out of the stripe on the doors so that the underlying body color showed through. This color combination of spit-fire orange and flat black seems to pay tribute to one of the design inspirations for the Plymouth Arrow, that being the Plymouth Barracuda. In 1971, the Barracuda was offered with a "billboard" decal option, which was a large, solid flat black decal that covered the entire back half of the car on both sides (often in a red and flat black color combination).
The Arrow was discontinued in 1980 and was replaced by the Plymouth Sapporo/Dodge Challenger which was larger, heavier and had more amenities.

The Arrow's styling influence can clearly be seen in the Plymouth Arrow Truck and its cousins; the Dodge D-50 and Mitsubishi Mighty Max pickups.

The Arrow 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 Mitsubishi Cordia was a compact Hatchback Coupé built by Mitsubishi Motors from 1982 to 1990

The Harry Nilsson song, "Me and my arrow" (from The Point!) was used in television commercials in the United States promoting the Plymouth Arrow during the 1970s.

One of the more interesting options available for the Arrow was a small tent. When the rear seats were lowered and the tent was clipped over the open hatchback, it would allow the back of the car to be used for camping.
