Stepdown car cover

I am looking for an inexpensive car cover for a stepdown. The car is stored inside, so it is mostly a dust cover that hopefully will also prevent some accidental scratches and things. Has anyone here had experience with a certain brand and/ or size?



Thanks,

Matt

    You may already know this but don't put the cover on when there is any moisture on the paint - it will bubble!

    I saw in a body shop trade rag these new "plastic bubble" type covers that are inflated with a small fan which would keep moisture out and not actually touch the car and still allows the car to be viewed for around 250.00-300.00

    I don't know if that solution is practicle for you but I thought they held some promise...

    Matt, I have a California cover cheap. It's custom made lite fabric with corduroy in side. Perfect for inside storage. 150-175 .Good luck

    If price is your main concern, I've used the cover that COSTCO sells (about $50 as I recall). Its a soft all-weather universal fit (size XXL). I would not use it outside, but for indoors it seems OK. I've had it for 3 years now. I would not recommend the $30 nylon type- they scratch, snag, and generally are not very good (also they don't offer any protection if something should bump the car).

    Moisture really isn't a concern. The car is stored in my attached garage which is nice & dry. I have no intention of keeping it outside.



    Thanks to all for the advice,

    I got a couple for my stepdowns from Advance Auto (Maybe Auto Zone) for about $22 on sale. Just right for inside storage.

    Kanter's soft covers for inside use are decent choices as well. Fit and quality are good. Have one on my '47 and Hornet
