Best Car Cover?

Hello, My Old car covers have had it. I'm looking for the Best car cover for my Oldsmobiles. Would prefer someone who purchased a good brand they have had for a while and loved them. Thanks Olds Fans.

What are your goals with it? Just a dust cover? Outside or inside?

I used a bunch of different covers for outdoor storage. Sometimes the more expensive ones lasted longer, sometimes they didn't. I got to where I would just use the cheap parts store ones and replace them once they started to tear.

I have very good luck with Covercraft. They offer different covers for different uses (indoor and outdoor). California Car Cover is another one that gets good reviews.

I have had several California Car Covers (I believe the specific model was the Dustop) for several different cars. These were for garage-stored vehicles and performed just fine, although all I really have needed them to do is keep the dust out without damaging the paint. Mission accomplished. As noted above, it makes a significant difference where you're storing the cars.

Thanks everyone. Yes the cars stay in a garage so mainly looking for a very good dust cover that won't damage the paint. Sometimes when I take them out into the wild I will put a car cover on them if bad weather comes out of nowhere. (Welcome to summer in Florida)
Just looking as well for a really good fit. Not a one size fits all BS Car cover. I appreciate everyone's help.

In 2016 when I purchased my 66 Cutlass vert I also purchased a cover from Covercraft Industries in Pauls Valley, Oklahoma. Its a dust cover and washes fine. Soft and thin with an antenna kit included. Washable and I do that every year when I take the car out of storage. Car is covered when in the garage and not in use. Excellent cove.

Thanks I'll give them a look today. I actually removed both of my antenna's when I restored the cars so that problem is out the window.
