Waiting for Spring
when I purchased my 50th SAE it came with an indoor cover, color-matched, stretched front and rear plus it had the 5oth ANNV. logo on the front hood.
My problem is I would like to replace it with a new cover of the same specs but the manufacturer's label is too far worn to get any info from. Does anyone know where I could purchased it??

a picture of the cover would greatly help I believe.

If you can't find a replacement just like you currently have, buy a cover with no lettering or logo and see if a local company can silkscreen or embroider a 50th logo onto the cover.

In the meantime....I've seen 3-4 aftermarket online stores that carry a solid ruby red indoor car cover specifically for what you need, with the caveat that none of the offerings has the logo...That definitely has proven to be hard to find in that color.

Most definitely
[QUI OTE=sonicss33;1604690789]Have you tried “California Car Cover”? They used to do logos.[/QUOTE]
I looked there and every other car cover outlets to no avail. I ended up get a stretch cover in my color.
I will definitely keep my existing cover though . It's unique. Thanks for all the advice.
Can't wait for Spring to get back on the road!!

Perhaps you can find someone who offers a digital scan sewing service, where the machine can sew anything it scans. I first saw them at tourist areas and fairs, but they have proliferated. perhaps a sports uniform service in your area has one, as a guess.
Just bought a California Car cover with embroidered lettering, but it was nothing compared to they used to offer, that was cheap enough to add on an impulse. I had a mazda emblem sewn in multi colors as large as a dinner plate for my girls cover , but nothing like that is available today from them. Perhaps it is because the car cover company now sews their stuff, as I discovered when I got a Cal cover with a car cover co logo on it, attributed to the holiday rush by the helpful service desk.
