I doubt his line ever was immortal. The Dúnedain did not appreciate their Doom and feared death. It was more noticeable in the King's house on Númenor, but it touched even the band of the Faithful. It continued after the Fall. I would think, that based on these inclinations (regretting Elros' choice), that a Dúnadan like Galador would choose immortality if he were actually given the choice.
