In need of a good cover during transport...

Hello all,

Adding another pony to the stable alongside my 08' GT/CS...
I bought my grandfather's resto-mod 66'. I am flying to Michigan and will put it on a flatbed for the haul back to NJ.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good car cover that is more or less fitted for the car and will be great for the ride back AND will be good for garage use as well, since it obviously won't be a daily driver....

Any help would be fantastic...
Thanks guys!!!

I wouldn't cover it during open air transport. The fabric cover can damage the finish as it flaps in the wind.

This. I had a cover abrade the paint on one of my cars during a trailer transport. Probably the only way to avoid that isusing the white stuff that adheres to the body like what you see on the factory transports

Transport it in an enclosed transport. That's what a friend of mine did with his 56 Chevy when he bought it.....
