Recommended car covers

Does anyone have a recommended brand or place I should go to purchase a good car cover for my 72 Cutlass? I need to keep my car covered from dust while in dry storage here in the humidity belt!

Others might have better suggestions, but for the past few months I've been having great luck with a Motor Trend 3-layer weatherproof cover on my Cadillac. Not that it matters in the case of dry storage, but true to their claim it seems to deflect water while still being reasonably breathable, and the car looks great whenever I take the cover off, regardless of what the weather's been like. It has a nice stretch fit around the edges and even without securing it with the hold-down cord that came with it, it hasn't yet blown off once on windy days.

I have to park my cars in a dusty dirt lot and without the cover, it gets completely filthy within a few days of parking it. Even worse because it's a white-over-black two-tone, and it shows dirt easily. The cover before this was a super-cheapo blue Autozone cover that blew off with the slightest provocation, soaked through whenever it rained, and eventually fell to bits.

Cover Craft makes a decent cover. The top of the line heavier weight one is best but if you're just looking to keep dust off and inside a garage there are much cheaper ones.

I used mine outside for several years but in a garage it would last forever.

My 54 stays in the garage and I have a Cover Craft cover made for indoor use to keep the dust off the car. I am very satisfied with it and would buy again.

Don't remember the brand.....I use the breathable one from OPGI for my 442 & Chevelle....about $170....fits well very, soft against the paint.

I had the Barrett Jackson car cover from Pep Boys and it worked well. Fleece lined. Normally has a rebate available and also is sometimes on sale. Good luck.

California car cover is my recommendation, they will have whatever it is you are looking for, indoors or out, or both, and they LAST

I'll third California Covers. Lots of choices, plus you can customize them.
