A customer is looking for recommendations for a good quality interior Car Cover to put on his 1929 Tudor. Has anyone purchased a cover recently that could give feedback on quality and fit??

TIA

California car cover, if still in business, sells a very soft cloth fitted cover.

California car cover. I bought one last month from them. I have had five of their covers for years with no problems.

Remind them not to use a cover on a dusty/dirty car. That soft inner surface with get the dirt embedded and scratch the car every time you use it.
If it's an inside cover I use a cheap $40 fleabay one for a small SUV. If it's for outside you'll need to spend some real money $300-700 and get the best UV and water resistance available.

Thanks guys. Yes a cover to be used when stored in the interior / inside of his shop.

California Car cover. Used them for over 30 years. The best.

CCC ... there's no other that's better, custom fit body styles and several interior/exterior all-weather options. Yes a little pricey perhaps but if you want one that lasts and not get torn tattered corners then that's the one.

Yep, CCC is it. I use them on all my classic cars....

I am looking for a cover, Darla is in storage 75% of the time but want to keep it covered just in case.

I have a 1929 Tudor, with Spare on the back and a trunk. which one should I get from CCC?

Just a FWIW. Have had my CCC for years and it works great as an indoor type cover. I'm fortunate as Griot's flagship store is 10 minutes from my house. If you are a tobacco user or in my case cigars I use the the $14.00 plastic cheapy car cover to protect my CCC. LOL

I’ve had a California car cover for my 30 tudor for about nine years, it’s made for indoor use only and fits very well. At the time I ordered it, I did not have side mirrors and a few years later I added the side mirrors, so I called them to see if they had pockets to sew into the cover for the side mirrors. They asked for my address and name and sent me two side pockets free of charge, including postage. My wife sewed them in and I was good to go. They have great customer service and a great product and I would recommend them to anyone needing a cover. Dennis

Look at Cover Craft

https://www.covercraft.com/

They have some nice, lightweight indoor covers.

Look at their 5-layer cover for maximum dust protection.

California Car Club cover. I have used them since first purchase in 1980 and am still well pleased.

I checked this sight out and they have every type of cover you could ask for, and a great warranty. It's worth having a look for yourself.
