The Berwin Auto Company was the second known automobile dealership in Allentown, Pennsylvania. It was established in October 1904 by Walter F Wink and James D Reber at 140 North Seventh Street. Berwin Auto Company initially sold Oldsmobiles, Elmores and Pearless automobiles, being the first dealer of all three types in Allentown. By 1908, Berwin concentrated primarily on Oldsmobile sales.
In October 1923, Berwin Auto became first Packard dealer in Allentown, which was moved to Lichtenwalner Motor Company in September 1924. In January 1927 it lost the Oldsmobile franchise to Queen City Motor Corporation, and the company stopped selling used vehicles all together by the summer of 1928. It then became a garage and car servicing business. Closed in 1934 during the Great Depression.
