Rothrock Motor Sales is the current dealer for Dodge Automobiles in Allentown. Like most dealers, Rothrock sells Chryslers, Dodges, Jeeps, and Ram Trucks at the Fifteenth Street exit (1648 Plaza Lane) of the Route 22 "Thruway".
The Dodge dealership in Allentown first was issued by John and Horace Dodge Motor Corporation in 1914 to the Linden Auto Company at 948 Linden Street, and has gone though several organizations over the past century.
- In 1935, the dealership was transferred to Alden MacLellan, who had been with Dodge since 1920. He first sold Dodges at 12th and Hamilton Streets, then moved in 1950 to 17th and Tilghman streets. He changed to Ford in September 1959.
- It then went to John A Anshant and Harry Silsby, becoming Anshant Dodge in October 1959. The dealership was at 18th and Tilghman Streets. Allen Dodge was the successor to Anshant, operating from September 1966 until January, 1969.
- Lehigh Valley Dodge became the dealer in February 1969. They moved the firm to 2260 Lehigh Street in December 1970 before passing the franchise to Bill Peoples, who sold Dodges from January 1971 until December 1974. Keystone Dodge owned the dealershp rights next, taking over in January 1975, and holding it until June 2009, nearly 35 years until Chrysler Corporation declared bankruptcy and Keystone lost it's franchise rights.
Rothrock Motors picked up the Dodge franchise from the re-structured Fiat Chrysler Automobiles in 2009 and relocated the franchise to its current location, also renaming itself Rothrock Motor Sales.
