Want to buy a cover for my 1930 roadster. My car is garage kept but want to protect from dust and pollen. I see a lot on line starting at next to nothing and going to very expensive. Any recommends?
 
I have a used one that came with my car. You can have it for the cost of shipping from 78550. I purchased a new one. Send me a PM.

I have found that in car covers, you get what you pay for. The cheap covers are worthless and they do not fit properly.

I feel we all need to pay it forward from time to time. Car guys are like family, and being a new Model A owner, we are just older kids with old toys!
 
I bought mine from a Texas outfit called AutoArmor for about $50 delivered. It has the soft inner liner and has a weatherproof outer layer to protect from bird, rain, and dew. For being more of a generic fit, it actually fits quite well.

If you want a heavier cover with a custom fit, then California Car Covers will have one for over $300.
 
I have a CoverCraft Evolution car cover I happy with. It's more for outdoors tho. They do have indoor covers also. ~ $250.

This is the cover I purchased for 6 of my antique cars. From a small 24 Ford to a very large 32 Chrysler and 4 Model A Fords all different body styles, the custom fit is phenomenal , fits like a glove. I could not be happier. I believe you get what you pay for and these covers are not cheap as they sell for $240 to $300 dollars. Wayne
 
a junk cover will scratch your car big time and even the best will also to some mild extent so be careful ... the best cover is no cover and then blow it off with compressed air before wiping it down to avoid scratches . that being said i do use a indoor cover to prevent damage from people walking by in my garage. i needed 2 covers for my cars so i bought a CCC (california car cover) and a covercraft to compare as i wanted the best. hands down IMO the CCC was better so now i have two and returned the covercraft...

Hey Mitch,
This company is just up the road from me. They have a lot of great products, including high end car covers. Regarding 'scratching' paint surfaces. I agree with your thought, but if I were looking for the best cover I would be looking at CCC product. They serve / sell their covers to guys with many thousands of $ of paint on their antiques and rods alike. Last time I went to their booth, I seem to remember that they make covers with 'breathing' non scratching in mind. A bit more expensive, than some sell for.

what are you calling CCC
covercraft company or california car cover???
in my post i endorsed the california as the better quality IMO
 
For the information of all, if you google the companies you will find that Covercraft manufactures California Car Cover covers and California Car Cover then places their white label on the Covercraft cover.
