As far back as 1961, the Colton name has been an ambassador for the western New York business community. William Colton established himself as the best at repair and replacement for convertible tops and seat covers. He was considered a master when it came to designing custom interiors for show cars. Many of his works won prizes at local custom car shows in and around Buffalo, Niagara Falls, the Tonawandas and everywhere in between.

THE CIRCLE OF EXCELLENCE GROWS In 1980 Chris Colton joined his father in running the business which moved its location to Niagara Falls Boulevard, a few years later Jim Colton joined in on the expedition. These young, aggressive, and innovated men started to build and sell custom conversion vans, as well as handicapped accessible vans. The Coltons had a flair for anticipating what was on the cutting edge in the market, so they took on a line of camper vans, which led to full sized motor homes, travel trailers and fifth wheels being traded in. The larger vehicles necessitated the need for additional parking and a nearby property was purchased.

COLTON RV AND VAN CENTER - THE NORTHEAST'S ONLY FULL LINE, FULL SERVICE RV DEALERSHIP In January of 1994 Bill retired and passed the scepter on to Chris and Jim who continued on the endeavor of making the business grow. Chris took on the Presidential position and Jim, Vice President. The interest in used motor homes and RVs, and the lack of dealers in the immediate area started a quest to take on several major lines of motor homes, travel trailers, fifth wheels, camper vans, and tent campers. Colton is proud to carry brand names such as Coachmen, Coleman, Damon, Fleetwood, Forest River, Keystone, K-Z, Open Range, Tiffin, and Winnebago.
