Default Car Show Canopy

As all of you know, we don't have a lot of rear space......Awhile back I received a catalog in the mail that had a "Shortie" canopy that was only 38 inches when broken down, small enough to be carried in the rear of my 86......Like a dummy I tossed the catalog.....Now we want to buy one......Has anyone got one or knows the company that sells them.......Appreciate any help I can get........
Have a Great Day!!!!!!!!

I just bought one of those large camping/picnic screened tent things. It is the same size as a duffle bag and fits anywhere in the car (back, passenger floor/seat, etc).

2 sides are fully screened down to the ground, the other 2 sides are zippered/split down the center from top to bottom (like an army tent) and can be folded back and out of the way. Makes a good car tent and has many other uses as well

I got it at walmart for like $20 or so.

I don't know if you have a Dick's Sporting Goods in your area but they have a "Quest" brand ez-up type 10'x10' canopy that breaks down to a 10"x10"x36" long size. It fits perfectly in the back of my 82 and will fit on the luggage rack of either of my C4 convertibles. I think I paid around $60 for it.
