Car salesman C. Miller was an unlikely icon of 1970s | Local history

The acting was bad and the ads were silly. Those were the selling points. Northeast Ohio auto dealer Charles Leo Miller, better known as C. Miller, became an unlikely celebrity in the 1970s when he starred in a series of low-budget commercials on Cleveland television. The car salesman dressed up as dozens of characters — from Superman to a fortune teller to a prizefighter to a disco dancer to Whistler’s Mother — in an effort to lure customers into his showroom. No matter the spiel, his commercials always ended the same. In a Tennessee twang, Miller exclaimed: “See the USA in a C. Miller Chevrolet!” Then he blew a kiss to the camera. Smack. The businessman appeared in 100 commercials over a 12-year span, making the 1970s decidedly more surreal. How did a farm boy get to the big city? Easy. He got hit by a car. Errant letter led C. Miller to Ohio Miller was born Sept. 12, 1918, in Kingston, Tennessee, and grew up in the agricultural town of Sweetwater in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains . He joined the U.S. Army in 1942 during World War II and was stationed in Indiana when a motorist
