The Selden automobile brand, produced in the United States from 1877 to 1932, was a Brass Era manufacturer based in Rochester, New York, founded by patent lawyer George B. Selden on the strength of his early internal-combustion vehicle patent. Selden cars were built with four-cylinder engines and offered in a variety of body styles, including touring cars, runabouts, roadsters, and limousines, through their production run, reflecting the evolving needs of early American motorists. Passenger car production continued until 1914, after which the company shifted its focus toward truck manufacturing, which it sustained until 1932. Selden occupies a notable chapter in early U.S. automotive history for both its engineering efforts and its involvement in landmark industry patent battles.
