Default C5 Umbrella

Yes, pretty funny I guess. I want a big black golf-size umbrella with the C5 emblem on it for the Carlisle show coming up. I need it for the shade. Any suggestions on what site to look? I appreciate it.

CALIFORNIA CAR COVER COMPANY sells car covers AND very nice quick shades. One is called the EZ UP "Shorty" which collapses down to only 47" long when folded. Regular quick shades collapse down to approx. 60". It's 10'x10', big enough for you and the C5 to be shaded. It would fit into the trunk of a C5 convertible or hardtop easily.
It comes in different colors, as well as steel ($179) or aluminum ($219). I purchased a red one in steel about three years ago and used it once. I'd let it go for a good price, but shipping from AZ to PA would be painful.


Specially designed to fit in the trunk of most street rods, the "Shorty" measures only 47" when folded. Constructed from heavy-duty steel with a durable powder coated finish, features the patented ball bearing system on all the eaves and roof joints making it easier to set-up and take down. Provides 10' x 10' of coverage with a 300-D top that includes and aluminum lining for superior weather protection and vented top panel for increased air circulation. Now includes ball bearings on all eaves and roof joints.
