I am looking for reccomendations on a cover for my 2-dr. sedan. It's kept in my shop but gathers some dust from the doors being open on the weekend a lot when I am home. What do you suggest?

California Car cover. They're a little pricey but worth every penny. Ron

Wal-Mart cheepies will do the job (inside).

Check out Costco. They won't have it listed but a few phone calls might turn something up. I am happy with the one I got from them for my '57 Bird.

California cover company was at Louisville and had a discount going on. One for our `29 roadster was $200 shipped. I have one of theirs for my `55 and it has been a great cover.
I`ve used the cheap covers and prefer the better ones if nice paint is a factor. Seems like they`re easier to install by yourself.

I found one in Mac's catalog for $209. called Technalon. Supposed to be the best they sell

I bought one of the Technalons and it has held up and done the job for two years. The only problem is my quails head has worn through the cover. Nothing that the wife could not fix though.

Do all of these car covers you guys mention fit the shape of the car or are they just stretched tight from front to back. I need to get one also but would like one that fits the shape of my car.Thankyou...Dave

California car covers are made to fit. If I remember they wanted to even know where your spare is and if you have a trunk. Mine has elastic around the bottom and fit perfect. Remember there are two types. One for indoor only and the other for outdoor use that will repel rain and dry out quickly. Ron
