-------------------------------------------------------
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.

William B. MacGregor, Jr. Watercolors the Junkyard and Nautical Chart Artist

William B. MacGregor, Jr. was born in Medfield, MA in 1947, the son and the grandson of Norfolk Hunt Club kennel masters who also were artists. Bill is a graduate of Medfield High School, Wentworth Institute, and Northeastern University. His engineering career, from which he is now retired, included working for military and aerospace companies in industrial engineering and IR optics. His painting incorporates “old skool” mechanical and civil drafting tools and he uses a mixed medium of watercolors, acrylics and inks. Two rabbits are often in quite a few of his paintings. Look for them. He is frequently commissioned by United States Naval officers to create paintings of their ships and aircraft carriers on nautical charts. Beginning in May, 2018, and for one year, four of Bill’s automotive related paintings were on display at the Larz Anderson Auto Museum in Brookline, MA in an exhibit entitled: “Lookin’ East: Art and Imagination of the New England Hot Rod"
