Car Cover
In the market for a good quality cover for my Model A. It will be under a car port but I want a fitted cover made for a specific car. Any advice or recommendations appreciated.

Re: Car Cover
Depending upon the condition of your paint job you might check with Costco. They won't have the exact size in their online catalog but call them and ask if they can make one.

Re: Car Cover
Not Cheap but I have a "Custom Fit" CoverCraft that really fits well on my '30 Town Sedan with Visor, with Rear Spare and Trunk. If you ask they send mirror pockets that you can have sewn on. I had the upholsterer add a 'nose' for the Moto-meter also. The material is Sunbrella. 6 year warranty.
You don't say what Model you have but I'm sure they have one to fit your model and accessories. Last edited by Y-Blockhead; 10-04-2016 at 01:20 PM. Reason: Spellin' |

Re: Car Cover
I have 2 indoor CA car covers ,, very happy with them. I would think since its stored in a car port you would want the premium outdoor cover. Their sunbrella is for intense sun protection, I don't think that's your application

Re: Car Cover
if you do a search you will find several major lists on your subject. My favorite is Covercraft! Expect to pay in the vicinity of $300 dollars. Wayne

Re: Car Cover
I have a 29 Tudor. I know there a lot of different materials out there. Just trying to decide which to choose. I want more than an indoor cover but not necessarily the type meant for direct weather.

Re: Car Cover
Avoid EBay. Many of those covers are junk as is lots of stuff sold there. Wayne

Re: Car Cover
I thought of getting one of these of eBay:
CAR COVER My car will be in the garage and I just want to keep the dust/dirt off of it.

Their so called waterproof seam tape is a joke. Best to pull it off and use a clear spray on sealer. |
