Looking for a cover for my A any advice?
I am looking for a car cover for my 30 Tudor. Anyone have any suggestions. Or advice on what ones not to buy?

COSTCO has some nice water repellant ones with a flannel lining, but they are generic.

I have 2 of the California Car Covers. They fit very well but are a little pricey. Mine are a cloth with flannel lining. I believe they have others that are made for outdoor use depending on your needs.

Re: Looking for a cover for my A any advice?
I am on my 4th summer with my California cover. It is the version made for outdoor use as my car sits in the driveway all summer long (stored in a garage through the winter). It is now showing a bit of wear / thinness in a few small areas and although I probably will purchase another next year, I have been pleased with its overall performance. It quickly dries from the rain, lets the car breathe and does a pretty good job protecting the car from the crap dropping out of the trees.

Thanks for the responses. This cover will be primarily used inside. Although there are always a couple overnight outings a year that warrant a cover to keep the dew off. Does California Covers have a website?

The Indianapolis MARC National was rainy and some very interesting variations came out. For Roadsters (I know that your question was about your Tudor) some folks covered just the tops. Snug and secure, plus they take up less rumble seat room when the sun is out!

Re: Looking for a cover for my A any advice?
Someone said that COSTCO covers were generic. I ordered one from their web site cut to fit my '57 TBird about a year ago. A car this old was not on their web site but a phone call got me the one I needed. They also had patterns for the Model A's and probably others.

Big Sky in Montana makes an excellent breathable cover for outdoor use.

Re: Looking for a cover for my A any advice?
We have a couple of California Car covers. We got the more expensive cover for the roadster in anticipation of the car being caught in the rain on some of our long trips. We had the car on the Texas tour in 2007 and it opened up and poured for days. The car was right outside the window to the hotel and we could watch the water rolling off the cover in sheets! The fit was excellent and it worked very well but is much more than their standard covers. But it was made for weather protection not just keeping the dust off in the garage.

Hi, It's off the car cover subject but just had to tell you that's one classy looking roadster!
