Many things had changed since the early days of Stratton Auto. By late 2005, between fifty and fifty-five people worked at the dealership full time. In the original building, the brothers operated Chevrolet and Cadillac franchises (they had given up Saab). In addition, the brothers had constructed a new building nearby to support their Chtysler, Dodge, and Jeep franchises. Each building had its own sales manager. The dealership had also acquired a building next door, which they modified in order to open a vehicle accessory shop. This shop specialized in spray-on bed liners, wheels, chrome accessories, step up bars, and other items customers might want for their cars or trucks. John Calhoun noted: “After thirty years, our managers still feel that we are still willing to adapt to new markets and changing customer needs and provide what the customer wants.”
