I want to protect the new paint on my 1972 Vista Cruiser. I've seen a bunch of covers in the $150 region that seem like they should do the job and some even have a lifetime warranty. I just wanted to see what other have experienced.

Here are a few examples:

There have been numerous threads on here about car covers. I would suggest using the search function and reviewing those threads and then finding one that is made for a wagon.

 

I had tried that, but I didn't use quotes around the words "car cover" so of course I didn't find much relating to car covers, but a lot of threads that "covered" all sorts of subjects. I will try again using VC455's suggestion...

Thanks, Tom

 

I have Budge covers on everything from my Corvettes to four 68-72 Cutlasses/442s (use size 5) and even my '07 Magnum R/T Wagon that lives outside. I paid $120-$150 each for them and think they work great. They have good email discount offers all the time if you sign up on their site.

Thanks Terry

Does your Dodge Wagon cover have extra space to spare? Do you have the Budge Protector 5 model? My Vista Cruiser is about a foot longer and they don't seem to list anything for it. Most of the other companies mentioned in the other threads on this site also don't cover wagons...

I also didn't want to spend more than $150, so I'm looking closer at this cover for $140. https://www.carcover.com/1972/oldsmo...on-4-door.html
They say they charge $30 shipping in a warranty claim, so I figure I might take my chances. I think I prefer that route to spending 2 or 3 times as much on a California Car cover (they are right around the corner from me) which likely wouldn't last much longer in the strong summer sun here.
