70's & 80's Pro Stockers

My information about Gentilozzi and Glidden came directly from Paul Gentilozzi a couple of years ago when I spoke to him last. I am however wondering if Gentilozzi did not buy the white Arrow directly from Glidden since I just rediscovered a photo supplied by Gentilozzi showing an updated grille with rectangular headlights in the Glidden car when he owned it. I'll try to reformat and post that pic soon. I know that this paractice was common in order keep the car legal for competition as long as possible with NHRA's 5 year old maximum body rule for Pro Stock. So why would Paul update the front end as soon as he bought it from Glidden?

A few different shots of Bob Glidden's P/S Arrow...

I see now that Bob Glidden did indeed update the front facia on the Arrow while he still campaigned it so Gentilozzi most likely was the first to purchase the car from Bob as he once told me.

So which grill is the newer one, the black or silver grill...and where is this Arrow today?

[a990hemi]

The rectangular head lights and black grill with simple horizontal bars is the updated later model grill.

A few knowledgable and very well known race car collectors followed leads to my fathers red and silver Arrow with hopes of it being Bob Glidden's car as recently as 2 years ago. This leads me to believe that the Glidden P/S Arrow is still unaccounted for.
