1970 442 Car Cover

I am after some advice/suggestions on the purchase of a cover(s) to suit my car (1970 442 Holiday Coupe). I will probably need 2 for different applications.
Firstly, I am particpating in a rally over Easter next year and would like to purchase a cover for use during this (and future) events that is suitable to cover the car overnight while it is parked outside. Ideally it would have some wet weather protection.
Secondly, I am also after a cover to use while the car is parked up in the garage at home. I currently have a generic fit one, but it doesn't that well.
I am after good quality, preferably tailor fit cover(s)
and would really like some help on what other owners have researched and purchased for their cars.
Thanks, Richard.

There have been a number of threads lately about car covers. You might try the search feature. I have had excellent experience with Cover Craft. They have a variety and they fit well. I know there are other good ones too.

I'll suggest California Car Covers, they will have what you need

Request tie down grommets at all four corners for your outside cover. This will prevent wind from being able to move the cover around, and burning your paint on sharp edges.

Thanks for the suggestions and advice guys. I had a look at both sites and have gone with one from California Car Covers. Getting the tie down grommets installed too > good idea, thanks Lance. Your car looks great, and of course love the colour! Are there any more pics on the site; I'll have to do a search. I imported my car from Conroe TX, so not far down from Redoldsman, maybe you knew of it? Regards, Richard
