Keep an early motoring story close at hand with a tribute to Acme Motor Car Company. The Reading, Pennsylvania, maker began building automobiles in 1903 after succeeding the Reber name, producing touring cars, runabouts, delivery vehicles, and more. Its six-cylinder Sextuplet, racing publicity, and 1911 transition to SGV give collectors several memorable details to explore. This fridge magnet celebrates a brief but distinctive American marque and makes a thoughtful keepsake for car enthusiasts, local-history fans, and anyone who appreciates the changing identities of early automobile companies.
The Acme was an American automobile make built in Reading, Pennsylvania, from 1903 to 1911, succeeding the Reber, produced from 1902 to 1903. In June 1903 James C. Reber acquired a former bicycle factory at Eighth and Elm Streets and announced that Reber Manufacturing would change its name to the Acme Motor Car Company. Production began at four to six cars a week, and by 1905 the company was making two or three automobiles daily. The firm exhibited at the Chicago and New York automobile shows and joined the founding membership of the American Motor Car Manufacturers Association. After entering receivership in 1906, it was sold in 1907 to Herbert M. Sternbergh, who introduced the six-cylinder Sextuplet. Acme offered touring cars, runabouts, delivery vehicles, and other body styles, and later promoted racing and endurance events. In May 1911 its Reading site and plant were sold to J. H. Sternbergh, who sold the company to a New York consortium. The company name then changed to SGV. Acme also acquired parts from Lancia for SGV cars, including an engine and four-speed transmission.
