Raybestos 1953 Chevrolet Pickup on Display at BPI Booth 3638
Legendary car builder Jeff Schwartz will travel to Las Vegas with the custom-built Raybestos 1953 Chevrolet pickup. Schwartz, president of Woodstock, IL-based Schwartz Performance, will be on hand with the decked-out classic truck at the Brake Parts Inc (BPI) booth during the Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo (AAPEX).
“Jeff Schwartz and his team at Schwartz Performance did an outstanding job restoring and upgrading the Raybestos ’53 Chevy pickup and we’re excited to have Jeff join us at AAPEX to show off this classic icon and answer any questions about the build process,” said Kristin Grons, marketing manager for Brake Parts Inc (BPI). “Jeff has such a wide range of expertise, and because of the relationship we’ve developed over the years, the pickup turned out exactly the way that we had planned. Stop by the BPI booth at AAPEX to see it for yourself.”
