Who makes a good car cover?
 
I'm looking for a simple indoor car cover to keep dust off the car that is lightweight. I guess something like a quality cotton cover.

Doesn't need to form fit just cover the car.

check Budge Industries.

I prefer California Car Cover.

I have a flannel-lined cotton cover for my 1967, but it does let some dust thru. They also sell a Dust-top Cover that is much better for dust. There is a cover for just about everyone. :D

I have a Wolf cover with the cotton backing. Fits perfectly and drops low on the sides. I have used it outdoors a few times. :thumbs::thumbs: Dennis

Thanks for the quick responce. Looks like the California Car Cover "Plushweave" is what I had in mind.

They are proud of their car covers...... $260

You might put something in parts wanted. I have had a lot of Corvettes over the years and usually have kept the car cover when I sold the car. I suspect that you may find a used cover fairly cheap by spreading the word.

I purchased my Beverly Hills flannel-lined cotton cover just after buying my (1967) car in 1994. It has been cleaned a few times, and new elastic sewn in, but it's still doing well after 20 years.

One of the owners of Beverly Hills Motoring Accessories left in the late 1990's and started CCC. Same covers, just different colors and logos.

Depending on your age, the CCC cover may outlast you. :D :D

Funny how we now look at things like that. I was taking to my BIL about pole barns and he said the poles would rot out in 30 years and I looked at him and said "works for me". :D

I suggested Budge because you said did not have to be fitted. Can't beat Budge for a basic fit-all cover. But if you decide you want fitted, I suggest Corvette America, Premium Flannel. As good or better than CCC, at less than half the price. (note: I live within two miles of CCC and don't buy their covers. I don't care for their pricing).

Wait, did you want to cover the WHOLE car?!

Not looking for fitted but I did look at the Budge website and didn't see anything in cotton/flannel.

I will check out CA.

I've had good luck with Cal Cover. Stay away from the ones made from paper products. Cotton is the way to go for sure.

You covered that quite nicely. :D

Here's another thought:

$50 car cover
 
LICS sells a cover for $50. Ive had it for 2 years and it works great. Great bang for the buck.

I'm leaning towards the set of seat covers in post #14 :D

That is the type I prefer - just a light, breathable dust cover. I wouldn't want those flannel deals sitting on my paint in the humidity of Florida for weeks at a time.

I get mine from Wal Mart. Great for indoors.

Awesome Suggestions Guys, i thank All of you.

IceAx i took your suggestion, $119.00 they only had 2 remaining, supposed to be here on 7/15, the iron on C6 Emblem will be here on Friday (that was a great idea i really wanted the emblem on the front hopefully with care it will hold up).
