All of the factory drag cars are interesting to me. Arnie The Farmer Beswick is one of the true legends of drag racing.
This is from the grocery getter web site



The Grocery Getter was accompanied by the "Little B's Runabout", one of the Super Duty Lemans coupes. The original Grocery Getter was one of six Pontiac factory-built drag-race-only Tempest station wagons. Pontiac was serious about going after the other guys factory lightweights that had a weight advantage over the Super Duty Catalinas. The wagons (and their companion coupes) came equipped with 421 Super Duty engines, aluminum front sheetmetal, aluminum bumpers and a unique clutch-operated 4-speed transaxle.
