    Cheap car cover

    Just picked up a $25 car cover 'fits all' kinda deal at WalMart for the '36 Pickup. Fits good! Covers the whole vehicle. Elastic on the bottom keeps it on pretty nicely.If the truck had a high point paint job then no, wouldn't probably go that route but I just needed something kinda temporary and this one fits the bill. Truck stored indoors in a dry garage.

    We have a custom fit cover on the '30 Roadster from Beverly Hills Motoring Accessories (Calif. Car Cover) and it is a lot nicer car cover, just needed a temporary cheapo and this one works very well.

    Here is a cover i carry around with me for emergency use only. It costs 15.00 and is disposable, but other folks who's cars are getting soaked envy it.
    They are used in body shops etc and have an elastic bottom
    I purchase them off amazon

    This was at the Gettysburg touring class judging this year. The rain moved in for a couple hours


    Yes they do melt Carl

      Reminds me of some of the hair net thingies you see in fast food places every now and then.

      Carl your hair net comment revived a gross happening at a local restaurant last year. We were there with friends, when one guy that had ordered a burrito pulled out a Band-Aid that had been on somebody's finger from the looks of it, it was round. I gag just recalling that. SO, in relation to Mitch's picture, his car cover looks to be a lot better than a 'band-aid' fix!! And just try to pull THAT car cover out of a burrito!!

    Okay on the cheap plastic for a quick short covering, but what is the BEST for covering during the non-driving season (for those of us not in California)?

        I had a friend who kept four of the cheap plastic ones in his car. Whenever it rained at a show, he would put one on his car and give the others away to very appreciative owners. Made a lot of new friends that way. I bought his car and still have three stowed in the car and will do the same if it ever rains at one of our shows.

            Be careful they rip easy, especially on a motor meter.

            indoor car cover
            by Paragon
            I am looking into purchasing an indoor car cover for my 30 coupe and my highest priority is to protect the finish from dust. No need for any protection from the exterior elements. Do any of you have any good recommendations for a good, indoor use cover? Also, your experience with a fully fitted cover versus a generic cover.

            Thank you

            I need a car cover
            by Ray Horton
            About 12 years ago I got a nice car cover for my peekup. It is light weight, kind of a silky material, and was made by a company called Pro-Tech. They seem to be out of business now, and I need a new cover because the squirrels nibbled holes in mine last winter and it's pretty ragged. Does anyone know of a good lightweight cover currently on the market that does nor need to do any more than keep the...

            I read somewhere to not put a car cover on a newly painted vehicle. How long should I wait after I've had my car painted before using a car cover? Also, what are the best type of covers to use on our Model A's?

            Quick, Easy, and Cheap Car Cover
            by Tom Wesenberg
            I bought some $55 car covers for my Model A's and Studebakers, but they are shot after a year or two in the weather. This plastic cover is handy to take along for car shows and overnight trips, where you might get caught in the rain. I bought a 100' roll of 6 mil clear plastic, then cut the length needed for the car, and use magnets to hold it in place. Harbor Freight had the bar magnets on sale,...

            Car Cover
            by 29Acoupe
            Anyone know of a good source for a car cover to fit a 29 Coupe with spare and trunk on the back? I ordered one that claimed to fit off fleabay and it seemed it was just one to fit a small SUV.
            I'd like the multi layer soft inside and for it to be waterproof

            Car Cover
            by JKY
            I am looking for an inexpensive cover to go over my 29 Tudor. The selections are vast. This car is in very nice condition and is stored inside my workshop. I don't need anything for outside, just something light and soft that will keep the dust off and not scratch the finish. I see covers everywhere, but am having a hard time finding something that is inexpensive and actually fits. Most Model A covers...

            28-29 Tudor sun visor
            by Dennis
            When I got my Tudor it had no cover on the visor and was flat. I gave it the arch that Marco mentioned in another thread. Now I am getting it ready to install the cover. I bought the new cover from Bratton’s. It was folded in the bag and I’m letting it relax some so I’m in no hurry to get it on the car. So what is the procedure for installing the cover? There is a soft backing on the vinyl...
