Hi Dave,
I bought mine from NPD. I think its the same one that Hank has, except mine is blue. I only use it when the car is stored for the winter.
Becareful when choosing a cover for your car. Some covers are ment to be used for storage and can put fine scratches in the paint from constant use. I don't care the nylon covers as they don't provide very much protection. I did a search for scratchless carcovers and found this.

I know the bigboys that show their cars at the big indoor shows have custom covers made of Terrycloth. Heres another link to help you find the right cover for your car.http://www.properautocare.com/selectingcover.html Goodluck with your decision!

My cover is blue too Brian. Our covers are more of a storage cover than a protective cover I guess. They're soft but they breath so they don't trap moisture. Problem is if they get a lot of dust on them, then it rains, like at Frankemuth, the dirt washes through and get's on the car. So I guess it depends on what you're looking for. A waterproof cover is good at a show to keep the car dry if it rains but not good for long term storage because it will trap moisture.

Actually two different covers would be the best.

My cousin works for Kimberly-Clark (Kleenex brand along with lots of other products) and they are a huge maker of car covers and he is actually in the department that designs them. He gave me a list of which ones to avoid one time, I will have to try to find that. Even some of the K-C ones arent exactly the best, but he did say they make some very highend covers as well.

I need to get one myself, I stored my chevelle in the front garage this winter instead of the rear and I didnt cover it and it came out exceptionally dusty, and I'm not certain why. But a cover would have been great this year.
