Fitted Car Cover

Does anyone know where I can find a fitted car cover for my 71? I noticed that LMC states "Universal Fit" for theirs which I take to mean a big bag large enough to fit over my truck. Can anyone weigh in on this? Do they actually fit pretty well? Any better options out there?

Re: Fitted Car Cover

I purchased one from lmc and it fit pretty well, no complaints about it. It was only used indoors, so I'm unsure how they would perform outside, but inside was just fine.

Re: Fitted Car Cover

I'll use it for indoor use so outdoor isn't an issue. Mostly to keep all the shop schmutz off of the truck since I do a lot of welding and grinding and sanding and it always leaves a layer of gritty filth on everything that isn't covered. I was more concerned about the fit. I find it's easier (for one person) to put the fitted covers on than the generic universal covers. I always end up pulling the universal ones off or putting them on sideways or backwards whereas the fitted roll out much more easily.

Re: Fitted Car Cover

IMHO California Car Covers has the best selection of materials and fit of covers on the market.
