Default Who sells a good car cover?

I'd like some type of a cloth cover for my Town Sedan. The car is stored indoors and would be just to keep dust off of it. Any recommendations?

COSTCO. Call them and contact their supplier. There is more available than is shown on their web site.

This link from Ebay will take you to the California Car Cover for sedans. I bought one of their 6-layer covers for my coupe a few months ago. It's baggy; that is it is not form-fitted, but I'm happy with it. It's less expensive than others I researched. My car is stored indoors and I haven't tried the cover outside. If it were to be stored outdoors I might have bought a form-fitted cover designed specifically for the coupe.

California Car Cover has my vote. I have a couple car covers from California Car Covers are the best fitting and they are quality. Don't buy any new car covers off of eBay. They don't fit and they are cheaply made. I also tried a couple eBay car covers and I am sorry that I did.

California car cover does NOT list all car covers they have available. you need to call them and they can fix you up. they did not have my A400 cover listed but when I called them , they said they had the pattern. and would have it to me in three weeks it only took them right at two weeks.

California car cover will make one to fit. When I bought one for my chopped 41 cpe they needed to know how much it was chopped and made it taking the chop into consideration. The cover fits great

California Car Cover is what I have and I love it. They may have changed but I went to their website and put in 1930 Model A Ford Tudor .It then asked if I had wind wing windows and then asked if I had a trunk. I checked the appropriate boxes and it turned out great.

Agree on the California Car Cover if you want to store it outside.

I was looking for an inexpensive, simple cover for inside the garage covering of the Tudor. Searched around and decided all the fitted covers were just too expensive. Then, I found fitted covers from a particular ebay seller for $21.95 including shipping and ended up buying one from this ebay seller- http://www.ebay.com/itm/250477274389

The cover fits EXCELLENT, and it's actually a very high quality material. We have even used it outside, it repels moisture and everything.

$21.95 includes shipping and a storage bag for the cover. You simply cannot beat that.
