The goal was to imitate the understated look of the factory Galaxie interior, but with high end materials.

Apparently Ford actually built one of these Cammer Galaxies, per the Fuel Curve story, to try and persuade NASCAR to allow the motor.

I wish Greg had built his bubble top. I bet it would have turned out great. This green one is gorgeous. That W motor is so cool and unique.

The Galaxie is amazing as well. I would have put the back end a little lower so that it sits level. Otherwise, I'd change nothing.

At the 3:40 min mark, they pan around a stock 61 bubbletop and the Dirty Martini car.

Eye opening…

Trey,

Agreed.

But you may remember Greg saying the car was just too big for him.

Both the 61-62 Impalas are 209”.

This one surprised me, the 65 GTO’s are almost as long…206”.

They didn’t shrink down some until 68-69.

The '61 GM cars were downsized, though, much to Dodge's chagrin, not as radically as Dodge thought they would be!
