Celebrate an uncommon name from the Brass Era with this SGV Company Embroidered Dad Cap Hat. SGV emerged from the Acme Motor Car Company in 1911 and built luxury automobiles in Reading, Pennsylvania. Its offerings included touring cars, limousines, and roadsters, while its Lancia-based design roots and steering-wheel gearshift recall an era of bold engineering experiments. For collectors and enthusiasts, SGV’s short run and move to Newark tell a compelling story of ambition and changing fortunes in American motoring.
SGV was an American luxury automobile manufacturer active from 1911 to 1916. Its origins were in the Acme Motor Car Company: in May 1911, Acme sold its site and plant to J. H. Sternbergh, who then sold the company and leased its plant to a New York consortium. The business took the name SGV, formed from the initials of its owners Herbert M. Sternbergh, Robert E. Graham, and Fred Van Tine, all formerly associated with Acme. Van Tine managed the shop and designed the cars. Acme had made SGV models since 1910, using Lancia components and a design based on the Lancia Beta. The range included touring cars, limousines, roadsters, and other body styles; a 35-horsepower Model D appeared in December 1912. A steering-wheel-mounted electric gearshift brought an early recall and unfavorable publicity amid financial difficulties. In summer 1915, the factory in Reading, Pennsylvania, was auctioned. R. J. Metzler bought it and intended to continue production. In 1916, Metzler and partners moved the plant to Newark, New Jersey, where only one SGV was built. Metzler later joined a group that produced the Phianna, based on the SGV.
