Every now and then, we run something in Lost and Found that nets so many responses our physical and email inboxes literally overflow. Such is the case with the photos Bob Eng of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, sent us for the April 2017 issue of Hemmings Classic Car. It didn’t take long for people who recognized the car to start sending us their own photos of it and stories of their sightings of Russ Crumrine’s “Close Encounter” 1950 Chevrolet.

Understandably, the Chevrolet stood out at car shows around the Midwest. The car itself, as we surmised based on Bob Eng’s photos used parts of a Chevrolet Fleetline four-door fastback cut apart and reassembled into a coupe body, which would turn heads on its own. However, what we didn’t see in Bob Eng’s photos was the flying saucer-shaped utility trailer that Crumrine towed pretty much everywhere.

Does this custom Chevy and trailer fly away or is it just fly?
