I am looking for a car cover for my 30 Tudor. Anyone have any suggestions. Or advice on what ones not to buy?
 
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.
 
I have the California Car Cover made from their Super weave material. Unlined and very light. Great for outdoor use (short term) as the fabric breathes. Even parked in my garage, some dust still manages to show up at least to the fenders. We have prevailing southerly winds and my garage faces south and I tend to keep the door open when in the shop.
 
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!
 
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.

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.
 
$45 JC Whitney small pickup truck cover fits my Cabriolet and hangs to the floor all the way around the truck.
