Show your interest in early American motoring with this SGV Company Men's Sport Polo Shirt. The SGV name came from the initials of Herbert M. Sternbergh, Robert E. Graham, and Fred Van Tine, former Acme associates who pursued luxury-car production from 1911 to 1916. Van Tine managed the shop and designed the cars, whose range included touring models, limousines, and roadsters. It makes a considered pick for car-history enthusiasts and anyone who appreciates the ambitious stories behind short-lived makers.
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.
