Wear a story from the early years of American luxury motoring with this SGV Company Heavy Knit Quarter-Zip Sweatshirt. Active from 1911 to 1916, SGV carried forward Acme models with design roots in Lancia engineering and built touring cars, limousines, and roadsters. The 1912 Model D and the company’s move from Reading to Newark mark a short, eventful history shaped by ambitious ideas and financial strain. A considered choice for car collectors and Brass Era enthusiasts alike.
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.
