Default Best car cover

What car cover would you recommend for a 30 coupe with dual side mounts for inside winter storage?

Old blankets and quilts. My wife tries to throw away old blankets and I save them. My dad used to go to yard sales just to buy old quilts for his A.

I have 5 layer exterior car covers from California Car Cover and 5 layer interior car covers from CoverCraft. Both fit well and work well. All my cars are also kept inside a heated shop.

There is a very light mil painters plastic that comes in a roll. Pull it off the roll until you have enough to go end to end of your car and cut to length. Stuff folds out wide enough to cover an A easily.
Use refrigerator magnets, clothes pins or such to secure it.

Next spring throw it and the accumulation of dust on it away. One roll will last you decades.

Clean an dust the car just before you put any cover on. I knew a guy who used the boat shrink wrap on his collectable car he stored outside under a carport.

California Car Cover for me. Cars are in heated storage over the winter...I've had other brands, CCC works the best for me on my cars. You get what you pay for.

Lightbulb Best car cover

It depends on the storage conditions.

If the area is not heated - you may be
better off with no car cover at all.

Vehicles rot when moisture is not allowed
to pass thru - when it is trapped is when
rust starts to occur.
