Q: |
Is the 1957 Chevy Bel Air Estate a restored Bel Air or a brand new vehicle? |
A: |
Aside from a handful of parts, which are only available as quality used parts, the 1957 BKPE Bel Air Estate-Stage II is a brand new automobile. It is partly for this reason, and partly because of the quality of our builds, that we can offer the only bumper-to-bumper warranty in the business. |

|
Q: |
Why do you use replacement bodies instead of original 1957 Bel Air bodies? |
A: |
Simply put, it is cost, time and quality. Original 1957 Chevy bodies are over 55 years old, which means five plus decades of fatigue, corrosion and abuse. To restore such a body is time consuming and expensive, needlessly delaying delivery of our vehicles to our customers and increasing the price of our product. In addition, replacement bodies are made with modern techniques and quality controls. Comparing an original body to a replacement body makes it clear that the replacement body offers a superior platform from which we build all of our Bel Airs. |

Q: |
Can I have you further modify my BKPE Bel Air Estate? |
A: |
Absolutely. We would love to hear our customers’ ideas as to how we can make their ride even more radical than our own offerings. In fact, we encourage our customers to visit www.BKSUPERSTORE.com and review all of the amazing products we sell to make their Bel Air as unique as they are. |

Q: |
Can I get my Bel Air Estate with a 572 CID Chevy Big Block? |
A: |
The LS3 makes more power than the 572, weighs less, is more efficient across the power band and costs less. Given this, we would highly discourage our customers from choosing the 572. However, because we admit there is something very special about opening the hood of a Bel Air and seeing a big block engine, we will be happy to discuss exchanging the LS3 for the 572 with any customer so desiring the big block. |

Q: |
Why is there an up-charge if I wish to change the wheels and tire package of my Bel Air? |
A: |
Additional engineering time is required to ensure that the new wheels and tires will fit the vehicle and perform as well as the standard wheel and tire package. The same is true for a custom graphics package: our design team is required to spend more time designing and implementing the new graphics package. |

Q: |
Can I get you to build me an Estate-Stage II based on either a 1955 or 1956 Chevy? |
A: |
Absolutely, though pricing would have to be determined at a time immediately prior to the sale. Simply let your PSR know during your initial telephone conversation that you wish to order either a 1955 or 1956 Chevy as the foundation for your Estate-Stage II. |
| |
|
Q: |
Along these same lines, can I get you to build me an Estate-Stage II in a body style other than those offered here? |
A: |
Yes, we would be glad to build you a four-door or Nomad version of the Estate-Stage II. However, reproduction bodies are not available for these body styles, which is to say we would have to find and then restore an original body. While we are willing to do it, the additional cost would be substantial. Nevertheless, if this is something you would like to pursue, simply let your PSR know during your initial telephone conversation. |
