The "Golden Arrow" holds a special place in the history of locomotives. This new and powerful steam engine, known as the New Golden Arrow Loco, revolutionized transportation during its time. One iconic moment featuring the Golden Arrow was when Henry Segrave took it to Daytona in 1929. The image of Segrave sitting proudly in the driver's seat of this magnificent machine became synonymous with speed and power. A Castol poster from that year even showcased the Golden Arrow, capturing its essence perfectly. Segrave's daring run on Daytona Beach further solidified the Golden Arrow's reputation as a record-breaker. With waves crashing against its wheels, he pushed this incredible locomotive to its limits, leaving an indelible mark on automotive history. But it wasn't just on land that the Golden Arrow made an impact; it also graced our oceans. In 1940, amidst uncertain times during World War II, The Golden Arrow set sail from Shakespeare's Cliff in Dover. It symbolized hope and resilience for those who witnessed its departure. Not limited to trains alone, there were other vehicles bearing this illustrious name too. The CJ11 3352 Bucciali TAV8-32 V12 and CJ11 3355 Bucciali TAV8-32 V12 both carried the title of "Golden Arrow. " These automobiles exuded elegance and sophistication wherever they went. The allure of the Golden Arrow extended beyond photographs or lithographs; it captivated people firsthand too. Crowds gathered eagerly around as it was unpacked from crates in 1929 - a sight that left them awestruck by its grandeur. Henry Segrave himself played a significant role in promoting Opex Lacquer while seated inside his beloved Golden Arrow at Daytona Beach in 1929 - an endorsement that only added to their combined prestige. Even viewed from above, with no one behind the wheel but the wind, the Golden Arrow's sleek design and powerful presence were undeniable.
