Tom- Hahn Motors was located in Hamburg,PA. However in 1927 Hahn purchased the contents, equipment and large multi-story building of the Bethlehem Motors Corp.-South Allentown,PA. A new home was built in Allentown and production was moved from Hamburg where a repair facility was maintained. In 1929 a group of bankers purchsed Selden Motor Trucks in Rochester,NY. Under the direction of Bill Hahn, Selden-Hahn motor trucks were produced from the 1929 through mid-1932 era in Allentown. The depression put this enterprise out of business. In 1932 production returned to Hamburg as Hahn Motors,Inc. If you see a Hahn custom fire apparatus with those verticle rods before the radiator, it was built in Allentown.
