At one of the model a meets we saw a cover that just covered the roadster/Cabriolet top..wondered if anyone knew who made these:confused:
 
Yes, I have one for my 68 C from CALIFORNIA CAR COVERS. It is promoted as for the 1932 Ford Roadster but it works for me, covering the windshield and cockpit. I have some photos and I will see if they pop out for me and then I will post them.
 
Bruce; thanks for info, not sure that would cover the high square top of cabriolet, the one I saw once had elastic at bottom and kinda looked like a shower cap for old lady...Dick
 
Janet made ours. She started with an old sheet, some scissors, and a lot of straight pins. She had the pattern snug and tight when she switched to the weatherproof material, which she bought on line. The cover is tight on three sides with lap felled seams. There is a slit at the roadside windshield column that closes around the mirror and seals with Velcro. A Velcro strap around each door handle would keep it on in a high wind.
The cover not only keeps the elements out, it also deters folks from reaching in to pilfer "stuff" that accumulates in the cabin during a road trip.
Jan also made the form-fitting cover for our trunk.

and just what would you think my 68C is, if not a CABRIOLET (with a boot on the dropped top) ?
...oh yes, by NO means does it look like a shower cap. SEE the drawing from Calif Car Cover.

I use it often when parking my car, say, at the boat when I am not able to be near and this cover keeps hands off the door sills and keeps the seats cooler in the sun and dry in a moderate rain.
