Car Cover Question
What do you members consider to be the best car cover for the following conditions. I keep my 1966 GTO in my garage at work, the garage is similar to a mall type garage the walls are open to the elements. I am looking for a cover that will basically give me maximum moisture protection, dust protection, ding protection and cover the entire car. I used to park it in a brick structure but had to move it to my job ( NYC ). The dust and moisture just seam to permeate my current cover. Thanks in advance.

I had a California Car Cover for my last car. It was made to repel all of what you described. Washeable too. I think it was about $250. I was happy with it.

Before you spend the big money on CA Carcover, I highly recommend Coverking.
I have purchased 5 of their covers to date and they all fit wonderfully (custom for to your car) and there are like 5 or 6 versions available for what you want. Everything from a basic custom fit garage kept car cover, to a Typhoon style outdoors cover. Check em out, they are cheaper than CA Car Cover and quality is superb as well. The last two times I ordered multiple covers, I got an additional percentage off as well! They are super cool to deal with and ship fast. Just to give you a range of what they sent me (and they all fit perfectly): 1972 Mini Cooper 1957 Porsche Speedster 1964 Lincoln Continental 1959 Cadillac Coupe Deville 1967 GTO Last edited by indetrucks; 07-01-2014 at 11:34 AM. |

I can't tell you where to get it, but I can recommend one made of the Noah fabric. I had to store my Corvette outside in Michigan Winters and it performed great. I use it now when I come to work and the bees are out for pollinating the Blueberries where I work just to keep the orange stringy bee excrement off it. It is lightweight too.

Duraweave cover by California Car cover. Kept my '64 covered in Florida weather from March 2006 to January 2012. Car look like it was kept in a garage. Full warranty for 4 years. I had a cover disintegrate in month 47, and got a brand new one for nothing.
Price is not cheap at $385. The usage of this cover is in South Florida where temps are in the 90's, rain is an almost daily occurrence, and humidity is always near 100. In addition, I am close to the salty ocean. Even though my '64 is now under a nice canopy, I still use the cover. As a matter of fact, I just bought one last week to replace the one that was on my '64 driver that was over 8 years old. I think that since 2000, I have owned about 6-8. I made the mistake of selling a slightly use one cheaply, and sure enough, I needed it a year later. |
