Default corvette cover

Greetings:

What is a good all weather cover for my 1991 corvette?

My garage is not big enough for my 2 motorcycles and a newer corvette
plus my 1991 vette, so I need to have a good cover for it.

Will this work ok with a good cover?

Thanx

N

Use the search function for hours of reading on covers. Bottom line, the more you spend the more protection you will get.

Make sure to get one specifically for outdoor use, or you won't like what your paint looks like after a few windy days with the cover. Ensure you get one that isn't abrasive and won't rub through the paint.

Doesn't say where you live, but California Car Cover, Superweave is what we have used for the last 5 yr. and it is worth it. Added a couple small bunges to front to help keep wind from getting under, but clean and shiny in...clean and shiny out....

Two Vettes and two bikes but, need help to buy a car cover.

Did you try google? I ask because car covers are like C6 muffler tips, there are hundreds of different styles.

Indoor, outdoor, wind. wet, snow, garage queens, silk, emblems, etc

Glad you are asking about car covers. I have been contemplating buying one and even though I could search Google and get the standard "My product is awsome sales BS" (no matter how crappy there product is) it will be good to hear the experiences of fellow Vette owners who sometimes are more picky about the products they buy for their cars than the regular mo off the street.

Thanx

My brother has a Stormproof cover for his C6. I think it cost around$150, not completely sure of that though. At any rate he has been very pleased.
