'We're still operating in Sandwich while we are getting the Hyannis facilities updated and getting permits we need. 'We believe the long-term success of our operation will be from that nucleus,' he said. 'You can't predict it, but you have to prepare for it,' he said.Ī year later, he's made a major capital investment in his Yarmouth Road site and its five acres of land. The consolidation started unexpectedly last year when Rodney Corson, owner of Cadillac and Jeep dealerships in Barnstable, decided to retire, Laham said, followed by changes in the Chrysler-Dodge dealership. But this summer he got permits for the sign and electrical work at the new Hyannis location, according to Barnstable public records. Owner Jeffrey Denesha of Cadillac-Saab didn't return calls for comment yesterday. A dealership in between the two on Yarmouth Road - Cape Cod Lincoln-Mercury - is part of the Ford family. Jeep, Chrysler and Dodge are all owned by the Chrysler car manufacturers. In the auto industry, he said, manufacturers want to bring together dealerships of their car brands.Ĭadillac and Saab are both owned by General Motors. We're just a microcosm of that,' he said. Such changes are all part of consolidation and merging in the automotive industry, as in other industries, Laham said yesterday.

He sold the Hyundai franchise, now on Stevens Street, in March and kept the real estate.

He invested in the Hyannis location by buying the Miskinis Motors Hyundai dealership last year. Laham's other Cape location is in Sandwich where he bought Sears Auto Sales, a Jeep dealership, in 2000. In a second change, Joe Laham's Premier Cape Cod dealership is adding Chryslers and Dodges to its Jeep lineup at 460 Yarmouth Road. The former Potamkin Chrysler-Dodge dealership is the future home of Cadillac-Saab of Cape Cod, according to a new sign at 600 Yarmouth Road.
