Sam passed away in '67 but had left the business long before that. He worked as a Fireman and at one point was elected as Fire Commissioner in Northern CA prior to his passing. Both brothers had/have a ton of talent. From talking to people that worked with them the Barris shop had a way of providing the customer their vision. If you look at a lot of what was done in the '60's and '70's custom car world, the '67 camaro here is really in line with the times. As hidious as we find some of it today it's what was cool in the past. Look at the comments here and look at what modern lowriders do. I wonder if they got their start from cars like this camaro...
