The designer of the Charger Carl Cam Cameron passed away. .Updated.

chargerboy69 · September 05, 2006, 07:33:23 PM

I just got the phone call minutes ago. Carl Cameron the designer of our Chargers and the 1970 Challenger passed away today. I have met him many, many times. He was the nicest man. Cameron Moore was able to get him to attend many of the Dodge Charger Registry Shows throught the country. The picture has Cameron Moore standing with the purple hat on and Carl Cameron sitting down in the back. They were best friends. This was taken at the Mopars at Auburn Indiana show a couple months ago.

Update. . . . .As some of you might know Carl had heart problems for many years. It seems that Friday he was found by Suzanne laying in his yard at his home in Oregon. It sounds like they are thinking a heart attack. He was put on life support over the weekend. He passed away last night. If anyone wants to send a card to Suzanne and his family, PM me and I will give you his home address. I spoke with his friend Cameron Moore this morning ,and they asked that I not put the address on the website. I was told you can also send a letter to Carl Cameron care of the Chrysler Museum and they will forward it to his family. That is all we know at this time. Thank you.

Rest in peace brother, your legacy will live on..........

Sinister68 · September 05, 2006, 07:49:23 PM

So long, Carl...

Here's a pic I took at the 2004 TDC meet at Boerne, TX. That's Carl standing next to Wayne Wooten of TDC.

Silver R/T · September 05, 2006, 08:34:14 PM

that sucks, he didnt get to autograph my Charger. RIP Carl

daytonalo · September 05, 2006, 09:10:03 PM

It's as-same he didn't get to see the second coming of the challenger hit the street !!!!!! Rest in peace my friend .

chargermick · September 05, 2006, 09:27:47 PM

I met him this summer at the TDC meet. He was a true gentleman. I looked forward to seeing him again. Rest in peace.

Blue Pentastar · September 05, 2006, 11:07:36 PM

Carl Cameron was a true one of a kind gentlemen. I was honored to have met him and his wonderful wife Suzanne on several occasions at several meets. Here is a couple of pictures of Carl at the Meet in Ardmore Ok. in 2003. He is one in the middle of Wayne and Wes.The other picture is of Carl and his wife with Jerry Moore.

Our Mopar brethen has lost a giant tonight. Is there any information on how or the arrangements.

Ghoste · September 05, 2006, 11:18:25 PM

Very sad. He gave great talks about his time with Chrysler and yet always humble about his contributions to automotive history.
My prayers for his family and friends.

Paladin · September 05, 2006, 11:41:41 PM

I am very sorry to hear this. I met him and he was a very nice gentleman. He took time to spend with my two sons and encouraged my younger one in his automotive drawings and sketches. They both really thought a lot of him and talked about him a lot. I guess I will have to break the news to them tomorrow morning. I just hope that as they get older, they put as much effort into their younger generation as so many of this older generation has put into them. Thank you Mr. Cameron, for that time spent with them. And to some of you others out there reading this, a grateful thanks to you, also.

May God bless Carl Cameron and his family,

Paladin

Alaskan_TA · September 06, 2006, 12:11:40 AM

That is a shame, I never met him, but I did talk with him on the phone last month. Very nice gentlelman with a lot of great history.

My sincerest condolences to friends and family.

Carl, you will be missed.

T/Ake care,
Barry

Chryco Psycho · September 06, 2006, 04:51:17 AM

What a shame
I met him at Ardmore in 03 as well it was great to hear his storys & talk to him in person
Huge Loss

topduarte · September 06, 2006, 09:39:09 AM

Met him in Boerne in 2004.

Great guy and even got his autograph on one of his original charger concept drawings and a pic with him!!

He will be missed!!!

hemi68charger · September 06, 2006, 10:04:55 AM

Oh My !!!!

What a class-act...... I've met and talked with him many times at the various Meets.... Rest In Peace Carl..... My heart and prayers to his lovely wife...

Two great people in almost as many days.......

Troy

ITSA426 · September 06, 2006, 10:24:13 AM

My son got to give him a ride in the new Charger at the Jefferson City TDC meet. Carl told him what he would have done a little differently and all. It was a good experience for him. I've met him a few times over the past few years at various Charger meets. Too bad.

41husk · September 06, 2006, 10:32:22 AM

bull · September 06, 2006, 02:57:28 PM

That's too bad. I always had dreams of getting my '68 finished in time to drive it out to McMinville where he lived (I think it was McMinville) and shoot the breeze with him about the car. He only lived about 40 miles from me.

Yea, that is where he lived.

Ghoste · September 06, 2006, 05:19:07 PM

Not wanting to be morbid, but had he been ill for awhile? He had been invited to the Charger 40th Birthday show at CEMA in June but didn't attend.

Well he had heart problems for many years. In June is when he had his heart appointments in Detriot. I believe the show you are talking about fell on the same weekend as the Mopars at Auburn Show, or close to the date, and Carl chose to go to his friend Cameron Moores show instead.

Ghoste · September 06, 2006, 06:49:21 PM

I think the CEMA show was the weekend before Auburn but no matter, he leaves big shoes to fill in the world of auto styling.

moparjohn · September 06, 2006, 07:54:11 PM

I had the pleasure of meeting, talking, eating, and so on with Carl this past July at the TDC. It wasn't the first time we meet but it felt like we were long time friends. He was that nice and easy to talk to. I know it has been said over and over BUT let me repeat "he will be missed". My friend Tony drove his 66 to the TDC meet and got his autograph and Carl even drove his car for a commercial/news interview. It's hard to belive he's gone. RIP Carl, you leave the world with a leagacy we will never forget. John

vert · September 06, 2006, 08:04:29 PM

My condolences to his family. I heard of and met him for the first time at Barrett-Jackson in 2002 or 2003. He introduced himself as I was checking out a Viperized Challenger. He spent 25 minutes explaining about searching for the right look and material for the 70 Challenger grill (eggcrate from florescent light fixture diffuser), and Charger body design. He was very pleasant, friendly, and loved sharing details about our cars. A true gentleman and a sincere people-person.

Nacho-RT74 · September 06, 2006, 11:17:49 PM

Imposible to me to meet him, but sorry about his death. My condolences to all his family and his "virtual" family here sharing same ideas and likes about what is a great car.

Shame he lived to see the 4 doors Charger or at least not enough to see again a new REAL Charger.

Todd Wilson · September 07, 2006, 12:15:24 AM

I got to spend some time with Carl down at the TDC Ardmore show a few years back. Super guy to talk with. He truely enjoyed his line of work and had lots of interesting stories to tell of the old days. Problems with making parts because the manufacturing technology had not figured out how to do things yet. So sorry to hear about his passing!

Rick Keelser took this picture. Carl had rode with Red Kilby in Ginger and we went to the castle at Ardmore! We were all up in the tower enjoying the view!

Todd

deputycrawford · September 07, 2006, 12:58:19 AM

I met Carl at the Jefferson meet. I couldn't get far from him after I met him. He was easy to talk to and I just loved the old stories. I am very sad to hear this. My Charger was not ready for hte show or I would have had him sign it. I just had him sign the TDC model instead. He will be thought of very often. Hemi68charger mentioned another one we lost. Who was that?

Finoke · September 07, 2006, 04:59:57 AM

I met him at one of the Carlisle Mopar shows. A very nice guy to talk to. He had some neat stories on the Challenger design. Sorry to see him pass

694spdRT · September 07, 2006, 01:01:22 PM

Truly sad to hear this. I met Mr. Cameron at the Jefferson City meet. He walked over and spent a while talking to me and my wife about our car and what parts he had designed.(the W15 hubcaps caught his attention) He also mentioned a lot of little facts that were very interesting too about how the designers got overruled on things by the higher ups.

I feel very honored to have met him and my sympathies go out to his family. RIP

duo-stripe · September 07, 2006, 04:41:00 PM

I met Mr. Cameron this year on the Dodge Chargerregistry meeting in Jefferson City and he was so nice to sign my t-shirt.
The best to his family and friends.....

ds440 · September 07, 2006, 05:41:51 PM

He was one of the reasons I became an industrial designer.....

I wasn't ever lucky enough to meet him.

My sympathies.

The Mad Scientist · September 07, 2006, 08:16:02 PM

I had the pleasure of meeting him at the 2003 Ardmore TDC meet.

I'll remember a lot of the stories he told when he spoke to us at the conference room at the hotel. He also signed a picture I had of my car. I was going through college and working at Wal Mart so I was all kinds of broke. I wish I could have bought one of his prints at the meet instead, if signing my wrinkled and creased 3 x 5 bugged him he gave no sign of it. He was a nice guy and a class act all the way.

almerkel · September 07, 2006, 09:28:39 PM

There are thousands of memorials to him driving around. I have a 69 memorial!

Brock Samson · October 21, 2006, 06:50:32 PM

Wow,.. I missed this thread entirely...

I'd be interested in any of the stories he told you that you can remember...

Rest In Peace Carl, I sure wish i had a chance to shake your hand!

Argos_Chargers · October 21, 2006, 11:29:39 PM

I was horribly shocked and dissapointed when I heard the news. I was unaware of his heart condition. I had met him in 2003 or 2004 at the Registry meet at Whidbey Island. I have the dubious honor of loaning him the '66 that broke down on him during the poker run. I met him again at Jefferson City this last year, where I was lucky enough to buy one of his prints.

He was a class act all of the way. He obviously loved the work he did. He also obviously loved people. He was kind, humble and helpful. One of my favorite stories was of how they got the concave window for the '67 Dart. The glass people told him they couldn't make a concave window so he grabbed a windshield turned it so the inside was facing out and put it in his clay model. Had he not had the ingenuity to do that, just think of how many of the late '60s and early 70's roof lines would never have existed!

He was a creative genious! It is a shame that corporate wouldn't let him do a number fo the things he had designed for the original Charger. Some of them came out on later models, like the power sunroof and the headlight doors operated by a single motor using a torsion bar.

Does anyone know what happened to the hemi magnum he was having done?

All my best to Suzanne...I can only imagine the depth of her loss!!!

Or the story of the emblems falling off and they find out the fat sweaty hairy lady on the assembly line was sticking several emblems on her arm to save time and then peeling each one off and sticking it on the vehicle as it went by. What she was doing was hurting the glue and thats why the emblems were falling off! Had lots of interesting storys!!!! He will be missed!

One of his storys I thought was cool was that the Charger was to be called the Monte Carlo. In his original prints the Chargers all said Monte Carlo on them. He said GM must have had a spy in Chrysler. Good thing GM stole the name. I like name Charger much better.

The Mad Scientist · October 22, 2006, 04:23:36 PM

My favorite story was when someone in the design depart bought a new dodge (a 68 Charger or something???) and parked it in the same spot in the same exact way with anal retentive precision. They made an imprint of his key with a soft gum eraser and had a duplicate key made then started parking his car in the same position a few spaces away from "his" space. Then when that got old they took it to the gas station and put gas in it. All of a sudden he's getting 40 to 50 mpg and he doesn't know why. He was delighted though. The guy even wrote Volkswagen a letter about it. When he had a tune up the guys started taking gas out of it. He went from 40-50 mpg to about 6 mpg. Cam said that the guy was killing himself digging through the trash behind the shop to find his old spark plugs.

Now that's funny.

Chryco Psycho · October 22, 2006, 08:10:36 PM

the VW gag was great

70charginglizard · March 07, 2008, 08:14:02 PM

Thats too bad. RIP brother.

I did met him once with a couple of the other designers a few years back at one of the NW charger registry shows we had here in Washington State.

I didn't get a picture of Carl next to my car but I did get a picture of one of the other designers that was around at the show sitting in front of my car but I can't remember what his name was. I know he was one of the main guys for the 2nd gen line up.

Heres the picture-

By kels70charger

Do any of you know what his name was?

Ghoste · March 07, 2008, 11:36:53 PM

Is it Richard Sias?

I think so. I think that this guy had mentioned that he was quite involved with the 2nd gen design then Carl was. Carl was more involved with the 1st generation one if I'm remembering right. At least I think they said something to that affect at the show then. That is why I took a picture of this guy with my car I believe. It was quite a few years ago and that alztimerzer thing is starting to set in and I'm having a hard time recalling this...lol

FastbackJon · March 08, 2008, 02:35:50 PM

I was at the TDC Whidby Island meet in 2003 and met Richard Sias, Carl 'CAM Cameron and the guy in the picture above. Unfortunately I don't remember his name either but it's not Richard Sias.

'CAM was a pretty cool guy. I personally invited him to the June 40th Charger Anniversary over the phone back in 2006 and he explained why he couldn't make it. Sad to hear of his loss. At the time he was having a '66 Charger built that would look like how he initially designed it, with revised taillights, emblems moved around, etc. Not sure what happened to it. I also have the VIN that 'CAM gave me of a black on black '66 383 Charger that he used as his lease vehicle when these cars were new. Would be interesting to see that one pop up again, might be a nice addition to my collection.

Here are some pictures.

#1: Me as 19 year old and 'CAM in front of my '67 Charger.
#2: The three designers with 'CAM in the middle and Richard Sias on the right.
#3: The three designers in Steve's Charger. 'CAM is driving, Richard is riding shotgun.
#4: What I got to look through driving home 300 miles.

I talked with Carl for a short time at the 2006 TDC meet (JC, Mo) and he mentioned that he really did not design much on the second gen Chargers, mostly worked with the 1st gen stuff. He did mention that he did do some work designing the luggage rack for the second gens (if I am remembering right). Although I did not buy a lithograph from him that day (low on funds), I at least got his autograph (with email address) on a piece of scrap litho he had lying around........

FastbackJon · March 08, 2008, 02:55:41 PM

I also remember him ('CAM) talking about how he designed the round side marker lights that were on the '68's and the wreath emblem for the '69 SE's.

I know what happend to his car. We actually had both his cars at our place for a while a year or so ago. He had a 66 Charger and a 75-77 Charger, I can not actually remember the year. I can not really talk about what went on with the car, however, I will say I learned that there are some very crooked people in this hobby.

As a side note, you guys did realize I originally posted this about Cam going on 2 years ago right? I was just making sure.

TeeWJay426 · March 08, 2008, 06:48:40 PM

Sad to hear this- it's a real loss for the Mopar world. I loved his design work for years- being the proud owner of a first gen! RIP, Carl.

Ghoste · March 09, 2008, 12:23:46 AM

The other guy isn't Bill Brownlie is it?

FastbackJon · March 09, 2008, 01:02:34 AM

No, I asked CAM about Bill Brownlie when I met CAM at that event with those three designers. I got the feeling Bill was in more of a management overview position than what CAM and the other guys were, who did the actual designing.

Ghoste · March 09, 2008, 01:08:53 AM

John Herlihy (spelling) (I'm just pulling at straws now aren't I?)

chargerjy9 · March 10, 2008, 04:28:34 AM

That is not John Herlitz, the man in question is Bill Brownlee. John was responsible for the 71 Ply B body. Bill worked on the Charger. I have worked in Chrysler design Office since 1973, still am there.

erin stilman · May 10, 2008, 08:14:06 AM

Hello,

My name is Erin Stilman. I am the daughter of Carl Cameron, and I came across this website yesterday. I happened to put my father's name in image search, and it came up with this website. Yes, my father passed away September 5th, 2006. He was 71 years old. This June 15th would have been his 24th wedding anniversary to Suzanne. He had 6 children by his first marriage to my mother, and 3 by his marriage to Suzanne. We all miss him terribly. I created an album of pictures and letters and cards that people sent to us. I asked anyone that wanted to to write a story about an interaction with him. Then I compiled them all into 2 albums, and gave them to Suzanne about 6 months ago. She treasures it now, and future generations of his will hopefully treasure it also. Not only was he treasured among car enthusiasts, he was treasured by his children and family. He was a great dad and grandfather. The comments that have been written on this website regarding his demeanor are a reminder to me of how others saw him, and they are comforting as well. Even though I will be 50 in three months, I can't believe how hard it has been to not have him here to offer his fatherly advise and love. It is the hardest thing I have ever been through. We had a wonderful relationship, and spent a lot of time together with my family and he and Suzanne in AZ. She is a wonderful "mom" and I told her about the discovery of this website last night as well. I am not sure who is who, because the names are screen names, but I thank you all for your kind words. Write back if you want, and if you have any stories to share, I would love to include them in the album I've compiled in his memory. Thank you all sincerely, Erin (Cameron) Stilman

Thank you for sharing that Erin. I also met your Dad at the 2003 Whidby Island meet. He was a great guy. I'm very sorry for your lose. Bob

chargerboy69 · May 10, 2008, 09:09:52 AM

Erin,

I am sorry for your loss. Your father was a great man, and one of the nicest people to speak with.

At our last car show in Auburn Indiana, our local PBS station came up and did about a hour long interview with your father. I should have a copy of it floating around here someplace. I can try to get you a copy if you decide you would like one. Your father also gave a speach at our last car show in which I recorded. I believe that is about 15 or 20 minutes long.

I can understand how hard it is to lose your father. Our prayers are with you and your family.

You are exactly right. His legacy lives on! I cant say enough good things about him. One thing I noticed was he could stand up in front of a group and talk and then spend the rest of the day walking around or sitting and talking with individuals. So many times I have seen at shows the experts spew forth their knowledge to a group and then leave. Carl would take time to talk to everyone. The best knowledge was learned in the parking lot of the host motel that evening as he was there next to the cars to touch and look and point to things and explained why or what. Always had a story of what things had to happen to produce something. He would look at all the cars. I remember him making the comments about problem areas on our cars now after so many years. Interesting that they rusted there but not over here.

Erin thanks for your message. I have the hi res photos of your Dad I posted earlier in this thread if you would like them I can email them to you.

This is very sad but if im to be honest this was the first time i had heard the name carl cameron! can someone direct me to a link about him so i can learn more about this awesome guy! or a list of his accomplishments that would be appreciated

what i got through reading this was he designed the 70 challenger AND the charger (what years?) thanks again and sorry for my ignorance.

bull · May 10, 2008, 05:45:01 PM

Erin, thanks for stopping by and writing a few words about your dad. My dad passed away about five months after yours so I know exactly what you're going through. I didn't realize how much of an influence my dad had in my life until he was gone. Every once in a while I still reflect on events from the past and forget details and the first thing I think is "I'll ask dad how it happened" and then quickly realize I can't. It really stinks when you realize all that information and advice is gone forever. My dad and yours would have gotten along great since my dad was an avid NASCAR fan, especially back when the Charger first starting racing. My dad helped me rebuild my first Charger back in the early 80s and he loved the classic design as much as I do. Anyway, thanks for sharing your thoughts. By the way, do you live in Oregon too?

Every once in a while I still reflect on events from the past and forget details and the first thing I think is "I'll ask dad how it happened" and then quickly realize I can't.

Bull I am sorry for your loss. I understand that sentence all to well. I lost my father a couple years ago too.

I will have a question and think for a split second "Dad will know" and then you realize he is gone. I have even gone so far has to pick up the phone.

Well now that I am nice and depressed. . . . .

Sorry to hijack the thread.
