Paul Gentilozzi purchased Bob Glidden's red, white and blue Arrow from Bob Glidden immediately after Ford renewed Glidden's Pro Stock sponsorship. Glidden only campaigned the Plymouth Arrow for one season and absolutely dominated the NHRA series with it.
Gentilozzi saw the advantages of buying a turn key world championship car versus upgrading his own creation for the Pros. The red and silver Arrow is an entirely different car from the white with red and blue striped Glidden Arrow. The obvius difference is the different shapes of the rear wheel openings - Gentilozzi built red/ silver car has oval openings where the white Glidden built car has stretched rectangular rear wheel openings.
