I need a cover for a 35 chevrolet

[thendrix]

Can someone point me in the direction of a cover for a 35 Chevy. I have emailed California Car Covers but have not heard back yet and I looked at car covers online or something like that to no avail. Can anybody help?

Welcome to the site;

Wjile I am not a car cover fan. I feel that they do as much harm to the paint, as they do to protect it. See as the vehicle still collects dust, the cover does as well, the dust is rubbed around when the cover moves.
If the vehicle is permitted to be exposed to any wind, the cover can and will rub all of the edges terribly.
When the cover, or changes in temperature within the vehicle permit some condensation to collect under the cover, the covers do not always allow the vehicle to breathe, and this can have damaging results.
Ok, enough of why I do not like them, but you can have a boat shop make some custome covers. Many boat shops tailor custom boat covers to a veriety of different sized boats. Just like cars, these have to be taken care of also, and this might be an alternative to finding a custom cover for your not so common car.
That is a big car, and will require a rather large cover. You will get what you pay for, so if your ride is worth it, you may have a custom cover made.

Thanks for the help. This is a suggestion for a birthday present for my dad that was made by my mother. His car is a 35 Chevrolet Master Sedan with factory suicide doors.


I have a 49 Ford F1 that is in the process of being rebuilt. Are there many old truck followers around here?

I have a love for old fords, and the F1's are among the top of the list. I also am also really very fond of the tri-5 chevy trucks. I lean towards the 55.
The same is true for a 56 Ford with a big window though. Getting carried away.

What is the condition of your F1? Stock, any mods?

Order one at O'Reillys for a big truck it should work. I agree with 75K30 they can scratch the paint my brother has them on his toys but there inside a garage.

The F1 is laying all over the garage at the moment. The frame has been sandblasted and primered to avoid more rust while I do some work to it. As for mods, I plan on using the front leaf suspension with a drop axle. This should give me about a 3 inch drop, more if I remove some leaves. In the back, I don't know if I want to upgrade the leaf springs or go for the 4link. I have a 71 460 to go in it and so,e people say I will need the 4 link for traction with all that torque, but others say the leaf springs should be fine.

Back to the car cover. My dads car is also in a garage. I'm not exactly sure as to why he wants a cover, I guess he just does.

Well my brother keeps his covered so when he takes them out for a drive there clean I guess maybe it could keep them from getting scratched as well.

That makes good sense I guess.

How long has this website been up? This weekend was the first time I have ever run across it. I am a member at the FTE website but I kinda like the way we can discuss all makes rather than just one.
