Default Car Cover

well I am about to bring the corvette home and need to know what kind of car cover you all would recommend the car is going to be outside. The garage is occupied by the prowler and streetrod so the vette has to sit next to the camaro. So I am wanting to know whats a good outdoor car cover.

Yeah I fully understand that. My '79 aint worth as much as my truck but I dont care about the truck. I did a quick google search and found this

I have not heard of most of them but have heard of the ultraguard - my dad had one for his car that he kept outside but never really paid attention of how well it worked. I do know that breathability is probably the most important factor followed closely by protection from dust and rain.

lets see what other members say

I bought the $99 cover at Pep Boys, is pretty good, the one that the chart says fits C-3 does fit pretty nicely, you will have to remove your antenna. Pretty soft inside and a multi layer cover. I was so pleased I bought a second for my other car. By the way they both are in the garage with covers. So I do not have a clue about in the weather...

I have the Noah Wolf car cover - ordered it from Ecklers, best $150.00 I spent on my car. Since the T-Tops leak and my car sits outside, well that car cover prevents that rain from sneaking in so it's worth it's weight in GOLD!!!!!!!

Bought one at Pep boys ($70) two years ago, and it nothing but a rag today, falling apart. I think I will look into the Noah Wolf.
