Car Cover

After 34 years my cover needs to be replaced.
Really like this one but not finding a comparable replacement. It's fabric with flannel like underside.

Indoor storage
Easy on/off

Any suggestions?

Re: Car Cover

I just bought one for my 1985 from Seal Skin Covers.
https://sealskincovers.com/collectio...z28-coupe/1985

Very happy with it. I bought the Supreme version because I use it outdoors and wanted waterproof. They are having a 1/2 price sale right now, plus I used the discount code HAILFREE for additional discount. Came to about $145 shipped, which I think is a bargain for a good cover.

Here is a pic. It comes with a strap to pull the bottom middle tighter under the car but I just let it hang loose.

California Car Cover fits like a glove.

I ordered the Seal Skin indoor as the price was very attractive.

I’ll second the California Car Cover. They altered mine at no additional charge to fit the modifications that were made to my car. Fleece lined with a durable outer shell and thick enough to protect the car from minor rubbing and bumps. I know the OP has already purchased a cover, so this is for anyone else looking for a new cover.

Re: Car Cover

It’s impressive that your car cover lasted 34 years! For a replacement, look for high-quality indoor covers with a soft flannel lining to protect the paint and a breathable fabric to prevent moisture buildup. Having a reliable transport option, like Metro West Car Service, can also help move your vehicle safely without worrying about scratches or damage.

Re: Car Cover

Get the California, black though, the premium one, black doesn’t get dirty around tires, and tell them to leave the goofy logo off. They will.
