Corvette America Car Cover Question
I am looking for an indoor cover for my 1965 Coupe. Indoor use only - something to keep dust off and protect the paint from someone brushing against it. I have looked at Corvette America's Flannel Cover, ONYK, and Soft Shield.
Anyone have experiences with these covers? These range in price from 115 to 139$.
Also looking at DustTop from Calif. Car Cover. It is about $238. Anyone have this one and think it is worth the extra dollars?
Thanks - Hunter

Hunter,
I no experience with the brands you mention, but I have used a Wolf flannel cover for several years. It fits very low and snug. I do not recall who I purchased it from. Is your car the blue '65 purchased from the late Joe Vieth? Dennis

The flannel lined cotton or poly car covers will let thru some dust and dirt. I do not think the Dust Top cover will do this. The flannel lined cover is a decent cover that will provide good overall paint and bump protection. It is what I currently have for my 1967.

Just one picture can sum up my wildest car fantasies. A C2 and an XKE in the same garage,ahhhh. At least I have the C2 so I am half way there.

I’m a fan of VettesUnderCover. Custom made and soft inside.

I've been using the Noah® or Evolution® made to order, car covers by Wolf for years and do not think you would be disappointed by either of them. It appears that Wolf has been bought by Covercraft, so I don't know if they can be bought with the Wolf logo any longer.
I have used the Dustop made to order cover in the past and been pleased with it as well. The Noah and Evolution are considered indoor/outdoor covers where the Dustop is considered an indoor only cover. I do believe the Noah and Evolution provide a bit more accidental 'bump' protection in the garage from normal foot traffic as well as more UV protection than the Dustop, but any of them would do a good job.
If you go to this website, they provide an extensive information guide to the different fabrics and warranties offered with the various covers.
Good luck... GUSTO

I have been using the Onyx covers for about 3 years, the C2 cover fits great, easy to install and its the only cover I could ever get back in the bag. I have had 2 versions of the C3 covers and they don't fit as well.

Have a Top Flight '63 SWC with the Corvette America flannel cover for over 10 years. Perfect fit and obviously very durable. Highly recommend!!! begee22

Maybe I'm not enough of a connoisseur, but I'm happy with the Econotech cover that's currently on sale for $40 from Corvette America. I have one on my '67 coupe. I guess the fit is not ultra-precise, as they sell only one C2 cover, not a coupe version and a convertible version. Also, there are side mirror pockets on both sides.
