The Acme was a model of chain-driven touring cars made from 1903 to 1911. Chain-driven, you say? Yes. James C. Reber acquired the Acme Machine Company’s bicycle factory at a receivership auction, and used the factory to manufacture automobiles. The price was quite high for the time, $3,000-$5,000, which included, rather optimistically, a “perpetual guarantee”.
