1980 while working at a Big O tire store in sales in Seaside Calif, (Pacific Grove, Monterey, Carmel area) Clint Eastwood brought his Mercedez in for tires and wire wheels. It was Frank our senior sales guy that worked with him but I had a nice chat with him while he was waiting for a friend to pick him up. Told him how much I enjoyed his work since his first days on TV as ram rod Roudy Yates.
Funny thing is he came back about 12,000 miles later with the expensive high speed rated Michelins burned to the cord. He asked me where Frank was. Thought oh no Franks in trouble that the tires did not last very long. Actually he just wanted another set put on. He love the tires and wanted to buy more. Said he burned them off hot rodding up and down Hwy 1 on the coast between. Carmel and So California. Said that car has never handled so good!
Super nice guy. Was very nice to everyone at the store.
Soft spoken and tall. Remember how much older he looked in person.
