Choosing the Perfect Classic Car Cover

Choosing a car cover for your classic Corvette or Mustang is much different from buying a cover for your daily driver.  Not any car cover will do.  You spent a lot of time pampering your classic car, getting every bolt and nut just right. Making sure the trim really gleams in the sun. the next thing you need is a good car cover to protect your baby from the elements.  Especially if your car still has its original paint. There are many parts of your car that are often hard to find or irreplaceable.

You need a car cover that will protect against UV radiation, moisture, dust, bird droppings, and environmental contaminants that will slowly destroy the car’s finish or crack the dashboard. multi-layer construction with reinforced seams makes all the difference when protecting your car from harsh Winter or blistering Summers. For those in harsh climates, multi-layer construction with reinforced seams makes all the difference.

Protecting a car housed in a garage also needs a cover to protect against dust and stray hand prints from incidental contact.  For indoor storage that cover needs to be breathable to prevent moisture buildup. For a classic car, look for a cover that is fitted to the car instead of a loose fit to prevent the cover from scratching the car when the wind blows.

Classic car covers should allow air circulation to prevent moisture accumulation, rust or mildew. Fleece, satin or cotton-blend are the most recommended because they are less likely to scratch the delicate paint and trim. Additionally, covers that are sturdy but not too heavy and have elastic straps, tie downs and stretch fabrics help make the cover a better fit.
