History

3D image of a Silver Arrow

The car caused an absolute sensation, with a futuristic design, spare wheels hidden behind the front wheels, a wide-degree angle V-12 and a top speed of 115 mph (185 km/h). Five production models were built, but they resembled a more typical Pierce-Arrow and lacked many of the unique features shown in New York. Only three Silver Arrows exist today.

Notes

The car is famous in Mafia under the fictional name "Silver Fletcher".

    gollark: Saying something is "just an image" is as meaningless as saying that a bad thing is "just an action" or something.
