Car covers
What is a suggested car cover. My cover is 24 Year’s old and has been used on 3 cars. It is not a fitted cover and a tad big for the corvette as it was a great deal on an evolution 3 cover when I bought it at a place going out of business
So I think I need a new cover. The car is covered in the garage and not outside so what is suggested? Looking for a reasonably priced cover that works well Opinions? Sent from my iPad using ZR-1 Net Registry

Re: Car covers
I use an old dust cover from my mothers old Pontiac on my 71 GTX; it works well!

Re: Car covers
I have a cover from vettesundercover. Absolutely love it! It is a heavy indoor only cover. The owner of this company was a tailor by trade, these covers fit beautifully. Check out vettesundercover.com

Re: Car covers
Go to Beverly Hills Motoring Accessories.
Select the flannel lined indoor cover. Mine is over 20 years old, yet still looks as new. Thick, protective, and soft on the paint. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.00. Just order the cover and enjoy it for a lifetime! Happy New Year!!! Marty |

Re: Car covers
“Heavy Duty” indoor car cover? Isn’t that a contradiction in terms?

Re: Car covers
Not heavy duty, just heavy in weight. Mine is all cotton, it's almost like flannel, very soft. If you google there is a listed phone number if you want to pursue. Marty's suggestion sounds similar to mine and I think I paid more than $200. I was over 10 years ago I bought for my first C4. Saved it and uses it on my '64 since it was so nice. Glad I kept it since I know have my Z!

Re: Car covers
I have a 4 layer Wolf from covercraft.com. It was a $180 cover on clearance for $49. It is a fine, heavy duty cover. An awesome deal. They still send me notices when they have more covers on overstock/clearance sales.
It is fitted perfectly for the Z and it is extremely well made. Stop by if you want to take a peek. I will forward any sales info when they arrive if you like. But you gotta be quick, they go fast. covercraftoutlet.com

Re: Car covers
My Beverly Hills Flannel car cover has been protecting my 62 BelAir for 34 years so far. More expensive than most car covers but well worth the extra cost. Enough said.
