After 30 plus years I need new car covers, my last purchase was from Beverly Hills car covers. What is the best car cover to purchase?
Thank you,
Mike

I have two "plushweave"covers for my cars from Cal car cover. I have read in the past that Cover Craft is the same but i have never confirmed that. A good cover is important to me so the $$ part of it does not enter into my decision. I like these because they are heavy enough to absorb something bumping into the car. I also like a loose fitting cover VS the "Customweave" a tight fitting one (that gets stretched on) because as with any cover no matter how good the quality is if there is pollen, heavy dust ,etc, on the paint finish it can leave fine scratches not seen by everyones eye in the paint.

the bed sheet route etc that many take is fine for a driver, but maintaining a show quality paint job is a different ball game. I know I'm in the minority here3~ Tudor's & 1~ Coupe

Mitch,
Thank you $$$ no problems for me either, when it comes to my cars. Thanks for the info are your covers for exterior use also ? The reason I ask is I want to cover my 29 pick up until judging on Wednesday at Gettysburg.

There is info in the link i posted above.
They can be used outside for fair weather use only, i would'nt use it for rain.
That being said i purchased these for rain when i go to a show, emergency use only. Before you consider purchasing a temp plastic i tried the different sizes out so when i get home later today i can verify the proper one. I am thinking it was XLarge not the one i linked below, i just did a quick search to bring it up.
The price was about the same

Mike,
If your covers lasted 30+ years, you should buy the same ones again! I chose a 25 instead of a 45 year roof------"I'm not gonna' LIVE that LOOOONG"!!

Cover craft makes some if not all of them for California Car Cover. You can order direct from Cover Craft last time I checked. I only have indoor or outdoor covers. Not any for both.Comment

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?03-17-2020, 09:10 PM -
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 you04-13-2020, 12:24 PM -
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.

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...08-12-2017, 02:02 PM -

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...10-30-2020, 01:33 PM -
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,...11-05-2018, 05:10 PM -
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 waterproof10-27-2022, 02:56 PM
