The Acme was a model of chain-driven touring car made by the Reber Manufacturing Co in Reading, Pennsylvania, from 1903 to 1911.
The company was founded in 1892 by James C. Reber to make bicycles. The Acme was preceded by the Reber, which was manufactured in 1902–03 and was powered by a vertical-twin engine. The first Acmes also had twin-cylinder engines but were soon followed by four-cylinder models and in 1909 by a six-cylinder. The 1909 9653 cc Vanderbilt Six featured overdrive fourth gear.
The company went into receivership in 1906, and its last cars were made in 1911. The factory was sold to SGV (Herbert M.Sternbergh, Robert E.Graham, and Fred Van Tine), which continued making some of the range until 1915.[1] Then the line was sold to Phianna, which moved production to Newark, New Jersey.
