Sterling Condor Truck
William Sternberg began the original Sterling Trucks Company in the beginning of the 1900s under his own name. The Sterling name came in 1916 due to the fact that Sternberg was German, and during this timeframe many people didn’t like the Germans due to World War I, so he didn’t want the company to have a German name.
Since its start, the Sterling line of trucks has undergone many changes, as well as a temporary shutdown, as well as changing owners several times.
