I have a 31 deluxe roadster. When parking at night on tours I'd like to have a cover that covers the top, side curtains and windshield to keep rain out of the interior. California Car Cover does not make one for a 31. I checked. I have seen them. Does someone make them or were the ones I saw custom made?

Have an upholstery shop whip you up one out of HEAVY NAUGAHYDE.

If you've got the top up and side curtains installed why do you need a cover??

My Dear Wife, Pat, had a VERY special umbrella, that she would only use when it WASN'T RAINING!!

I would just cover the whole car, but it shouldn't be too hard to make a top only cover, or find the right size air conditioner cover.

I'm still not directly answering your question, but for what it's worth, but when touring with my own deluxe roadster, I indeed cover the entire car. I normally find such things mind-numbingly tedious, but now I've got a system worked out (roll up from back to front, then from left to right), and can do it in just a few seconds. In addition to keeping water out of the interior, it keeps off bird poop and (at least I have convinced myself that) it serves as a psychological deterrent to vandals. Happy touring!

My great grandmother never left the house without an umbrella and a shawl. If it started raining she would wrap the umbrella with the shawl to keep it dry. Her husband, my great grandfather, wore a topcoat every day, even in the summer. His reasoning? Said if it could keep out the cold it could keep out the heat!

I dunno. But they lived to 96 and 90, respectively.
