T. Carey Ilderton joined his father at the company in 1946 after returning from World War II. He encouraged his father to build what is now the Ilderton dealership on South Main Street. Soon after, they began purchasing adjoining properties for expansion. In 1972, Ilderton started an endeavor to sell and service vehicles equipped to transport the physically challenged. Ilderton Conversion Company was born and now sells and services wheelchair vans, helping people across the country regain their mobility and independence.
