Default What are you guys using for an Indoor Car Cover??

Hey everyone. What are u guys using for an indoor car cover for C2's? I had a black satin one for my Z06 from Southern Car Parts that was AWESOME! I would love to get the same one for my 67' but they only supply C5 & C6's. Anyone know where I can find a black satin one for C2?

Thx

Try California Car Covers. They have pretty much everything for C2's.

Dust mainly. I have covers for both of mine but don't use them often. With two Great Danes in the garage, adn the double garage door going up and down 10 or 20 times a day, the cars get dusty. When they are covered, I use the indorr/outdoor covers I have

I use a couple of old bedsheets that are easily laundered and let me leave the top and deck covered while I have the hood up.

I have a Wolf car cover that I used once about 15 years ago. If used to protect the car on the road, the underside gets dirt and grit that gets reapplied with each use. Sheets are easy to launder.

I have the "Premium Flannel" covers for each of my babies. The inside is very soft and they fit like a glove. Zip has them for $130.

i have one but never use it.. My personal feelingis if I've driven the car it will have some dirt on and when I put the cover on it will just make it worse by moving around and stuff..

Me too. But I also use a Car Capsule with Frigidaire dehumidifier with water exit pump. Keeps the the car dust free and at a constant 30% humidity. I also built a PVC frame so I can just peel it back and drive in or out. $750 for all of the above.
