For indoor storage, I am very pleased with my custom-fit Covercraft Dustop covers, which ran about $160 each for my Imperial, Bonneville, Cordoba and two Rivieras. They're soft and very easy to put on/take off. A couple of years ago while at Fall Carlisle, I got a "semi-custom" Budge cover for my boattail Riviera. It proved the adage "you get what you pay for". It was half the cost, and took twice as long to take off/put on because of the elastic that went all around the hem. As soon as it was lifted up to clear the bumpers, it wadded up like a piece of paper. It had no security cable, and when it was stolen, I sure didn't lose any sleep over the loss. Covercraft has a number of fabrics and styles, depending on what type of protection you're looking for, i.e. indoor, outdoor, rain protection, UV protection, etc.

After 25 years, the cover for my '62 finally gave up the ghost with it's last cleaning. It was purchased through J.C. Whitney (although I don't remember who the specific vendor was), and I'll have to say I got my money's worth on that one...
Having been so long since the last time around at this, I was wondering if anyone can report good or bad experiences in purchasing car covers, and who they purchased from. They come in all ranges of materials and prices, so to get some feedback on PERSONAL experiences is always a valuable tool...
