The following are notes I recorded when I visited George Amerman at his hone in Budd Lake in May 2012:
George remembered that as a boy in Mt.Tabor he had build a soap box car with orange wheels and rode it on a hill in front of his mother's house. This was the inspiration for painting the car orange. Also the inspiration for naming his later stock cars "Orange Crate" but he did not use this nickname on this first car. The inspiration for the #39 came from the fact that this first stock car was a 1939 Ford sedan and also the fact that George was born in 1939. He began racing in 1963 and ran the sedan for 2 or 3 years at Flemington and Harmony. Here is my model of his rookie 1939 Ford sedan that I built several years ago and posted here at the time. There is a photo of the original car somewhere in the vault
