I had a custom fit car cover for my 54 and I got it at Back East Car Covers. I liked it and it fit nice.

I got my NOAH car covers from Califonia Car Cover. Both 75 and 65 are very good fit. They follow the body lines, snug fit, mirror pockets in the right place. I would not hesitate to buy from them again.

I have 2 Back East flannel car covers but unfortunately they closed up shop a few years ago. They were the best car cover at a reasonable price.

The major companies that sell Noah, Softweave, Stormweave etc, custon fit covers all purchase the covers from one source (that souce does not see direct to the public). Search on line for the best price, then call Calif. Car Cover and ask them to match the price (and free shipping if it was offered by the others). Calif. Car Cover is not only the easiest to work with but they stand 100% behind their covers. I have purchased about 10 covers from them over the years. A recent one was for a '68 Chev wagon. There was a little problem with the fit and they took the time to direct me how to take measurements and they made a brand new cover. It fit perfect and they did it at no-charge at all, including shipping to correct the problem.

Yep...I have a "Back East", too Their place of business was about 12 miles from me. I was surprised when I found out they "folded their tents".

For inside your garage use I recommend a Corvette America Flannel Car Cover. Have one on my '67 and it fits like a glove. Top of the line Flannel Car Cover.

I like the California Car Cover "Plushweave" fitted covers - gray cotton outside, plush flannel inside.

I have a Noah and I like it. I have a fully clawed cat and I think it would keep the claws from scratching. I make sure by laying heavy quilts over it. It looks like a burrito when I have it fully wrapped!

If you are looking for a qualiy cover for indoor use:
California car cover "Dustop" model is hard to beat.
They fit nice,are light weight,not bulky and soft as a babies behind

Check out Form Fit by Covercraft. Indoor use only. I use it on both my '67 and Z06.
