Description: the Flying Saucer Car Hop Route 20 on the Worcester/Millbury line, MA Art print of the Flying Saucer Car Hop from an original watercolor painting by William B. MacGregor Jr, who is known in the New England area as the Junkyard Artist. ------------------------------------------------------- If you were a fan of American Graffiti or Happy Days and lived in the Worcester area of Massachusetts then you might have gone to the Flying Saucer Car Hop. This was the place for cruising during the 50s & 60s on a Saturday night in your old hot rod. You would cruise from the Flying Saucer located on the Worcester/Millbury line on Route 20 to Speedy’s, and maybe the Blue Jay, in Sutton, MA. The local teens would be checking your car’s engine and maybe even challenging you to a race. The Flying Saucer was also a great family place well known for its crinkly cut fries served in red & white striped boxes. YUM! Everyone went there! One day, a group of Millbury high school seniors decided to skip school and meet at the Flying Saucer. Unknown to them, the principal and vice principal were waiting in the parking lot taking down names of all the truants! OOPS, Busted! The Flying Saucer was a quintessential 1950s and 1960s roadside car hop which sadly closed in the late 1970s. Watercolor art print of the Flying Saucer in Worcester, MA.
