    Car cover

    I checked the archives but could not find a previous post. I know it has been discussed before, sorry. Looking for a car cover for my 71. The car is gagaged. Appreciate any recommendations. Thanks, Joe DeLuca

    I use a simple cotton cover from "Back East" on my 66 and 68. They fit fine and have lasted several years. For my new ZO6 I bought the expensive GM cotton lined fitted cover. It works the same way as the cheap ones. The cats seem to like it the same!

    The back east covers do NOT have mirror pockets but I find that to be no problem. They also did not come with antenna holes. Had to make my own.

      Joe:

      I'm a firm believer in the value of quality car covers, when the car is outdoors as well as in the garage. In the garage, my preference is for the flannel-lined cover. I personally like a cover custom cut for the year car, with the mirror extensions. All of the major Corvette vendors offer a wide selection in all price ranges. Good luck shopping !

        Joe,
        I, too, use a cotton Back East cover, indoors. I've had it for many years and wash it at the laundromat every couple of years. Its gotten nice and soft and I'm surprised the elastic at the bottom hem still knows what to do.
        Regards,

          I like the California Car Cover "plushweave" fitted cover - gray cotton on the outside, plush soft flannel on the inside.

            Joe, I have a 71 and bought a flannel cover from Corvette America. It has elastic front and rear plus mirror pockets. Smooth fit front label for placement. Not expensive..I will look up the details if you need feedback.

              I like the Back East covers but unfortunately I think they have closed up shop.
