    Denson's reply was short, but to the point.

    You didn't say...but are you going to store it in the winter, or will you need to drive it? How cold a winter? And when you say snow, are we talking about a few inches from time to time that melts in three or four days, or are we talking about 4 to 5 feet and a 6-month deep freeze?

    No stranger to snow and cold , years ago I had to keep daily drivers outdoors in the winter. Even covered outdoors, cars take a tremendous beating. And your car is pre-galvanized. I would do anything possible to try and keep it indoors...and in storage.

    One would think that a concours quality car would know that a concourse is found only in architechture.

    So, I'll answer the question with my opinon. Buy a 4 layer cover. Most of the car cover companies offer a 4 layer cover. The only disadvantage I can see is that they are bulky and hard to store.

    Here's the page showing a Noah cover which a lot of people like:

    I found some decent ones from empire. This cover was a replacement cover for a custom cover that cost three times as much and started leaking water and collecting dust under the cover in less than a year. My Empire cover is 4 months old, has survived numerous strong thunderstorms and seering Texas sun, and so far is exceeding my expectations. I have 3 cars under cover, soon the other two will be covered by Empire.
