[DeTomaso] Car Cover

[Pantdino]

The one I got from CCC for my L model in about 1990 was too tight.  It apparently was cut to fit a pre-L and had to be stretched to cover my car. Eventually it tore because of the stress on the material.


I prefer to use 2 cheap covers.  That way when the inside cover gets dusty or dirty on the inside you just get a new cheap cover and use what used to be the inside cover for the outside one. So the outside one keeps the dust out and the inside one is perfectly clean.

Paul,

I've ordered the CA car covers (3 in the past) and they are very good.  A little pricey, but hey,
my Pantera is worth it.  __

I'm sure they can put side-mirror pockets, since they are made to order, I'm pretty sure.  They
also made a perfect fit cover for my 1930 Model A.  (Which I have pay a visit to soon)

    side mirrors weren't standard...
    
    Is there an option for side mirrors? Another company? Maybe a modification?
