Acme (automobile)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Acme was a Reading, Pennsylvania built chain-driven touring car. The company was founded by James C Reber in 1892 making bicycles and in 1903 started building cars. Production finished in 1911.
The first cars were twin cylinder engined but were soon followed by 4 cylinder models and in 1909 6 cylinder.
The 1909 9653cc Vanderbilt Six featured overdrive fourth gear.
The company went into receivership in 1906 and the last cars were made in 1911. The factory was sold to SGV who continued making some of the range until 1915 when they sold to Phianna who moved production to Newark, New Jersey.
