Car Cover Recommendations

Which car cover would you recommend for a 78 that is stored inside? I am looking for protection from dust and kids walking through the garage.

I've got a wolf, it's the best cover I've owned. It's about a year old and has no signs of wear, even at the spot I cut it to let the antenna pass through.

For indoor use only I use a Premium Flannel Cover from Corvette America.

For my 75 I have a MAX TECH from Corvette America -stored indoors. It came with storage bag, cable and lock. Suggest you do not cut a hole for the antenna - just unscrew top portion of antenna -if you can-and put in car.

I spent a whopping $29.00 for one at Costco a couple of years ago. It looks to be made just like all the 4 layer car covers I have seen out there....and my car is outside. Works like a charm and cheap, just like I like them.

if you value your paint do not use a cover. all it takes is one grain of sand on the car or under the cover as you pull it on and you will damage the finish. just wash it often for dust and scare the hell out of the kids if they get near it
