On September 5, 2006 at
approximately 7 PM, the automotive industry mourned the passing of
automotive designer, Carl "Cam" Cameron. He
was 71 years old. Carl's spent many years
with Chrysler and was responsable for the design of the 1966
Dodge Charger, 1967 Dodge Dart, and 1970 Dodge Challenger, in
addition to his work with product identity at
Chrysler. My wife and I
had the great pleasure of meeting Cam on several occasions as he almost
always attended the Charger conventions and Chrysler Nationals at
Carlisle. He was always eager to explain designs and happy to tell
stories of the "glory days" at Chrysler. Our first meeting was
at 5:30pm at Carlisle when his appearance was scheduled to end at
4pm. None the less, he signed autographs and spoke with us as if he
had just arrived. Our thoughts go to his family with best wishes.
God speed Cam, you will always be in our hearts.
RIP Carl
Cameron.
