Default Which car cover

I have a custom built 69 vette with 1997 outside mirrors.
Will a 69 car cover still fit

HA- the mirrors? I'd be more worried about that thing sticking out of your hood not fitting!!!

NICE!!!

Yes, if you specify the cover have two mirror pockets. But probably will not fit due to the hood protrusion.

I have this one and it would fit because it's very stretchy. Indoor only though.

I really like that one. Looks like a good indoor cover but I dislike dealing with mirror pockets. Is there a good one out there without them?

I was looking at the soft-shield but should I buy a cover for the 1997 vette, is the 97 the same length. I think the 97 sits lower though.
