Lee Stanley began at Rankin Auto Upholstery in the mid-1970’s as an employee where he became a ‘jack-of-all-trades,’ working on upholstery, convertible tops, and more. His involvement with the business evolved and he went on to purchase the company between 1979 and 1980. Throughout his nearly 40-year leadership, Lee grew the company including construction of the building it’s currently still housed in, one of the first to be erected in Montgomery Airpark in the 80s.

As he gained respect throughout the industry, he consequently transformed Rankin into one of the most successful trim shops in the Mid-Atlantic. Lee retired in 2018 but the Stanley Family continues to be an integral part of Rankin’s current leadership with his son, Matt, at the helm. We pay tribute to Lee for his creativity, work ethic, thoughtfulness, friendship, and commitment to work and family!
