[DeTomaso] Car Cover

Dave, sorry, by “stock” I meant the mirrors installed at Lincoln-Mercury dealerships when the cars were sold new in the U.S.  I think most car cover companies can adapt their mirror pockets for other mirrors or mirror locations.   All I remember is that I ordered mine from Motor Sheep and told them the year and that it had the mirrors as installed when new and it fit perfectly.  Maybe that company used the standard dealer mirror style and placement for their pattern?   Thanks, Mike

Mike, "stock mirrors" don't exist. Pcars hit the distributor and dealers w/o mirrors.

Paul, I had bought a car cover in 1993 from a company called Motor Sheep and they made it with mirror pockets (I have stock mirrors) and it fit well.  I couldn't find them anymore online just now.  I would check CoverKing or WeatherTech out.  CoverKing has lots of choices and would be where I would go to replace mine if needed.  Mike R.

Paul,

When I got my Evolution III outdoor cover back in about 1989, it came with a DIY mirror pocket option. I had to make holes in the cover and glue the pockets to the cover with 3M weatherstrip adhesive, and I made a bit of a dog's breakfast out of the job, but it worked.

I presume you are talking about an indoor cotton cover? In your case I would imagine you just order it with one or two mirror pockets (as needed) and it comes ready to go.

I have CCC cotton covers for my GT350 and Cobra and they are both perfect.....
