It's in the garage year round, not outside so I don't need to worry about rain or snow.

I've looked at various ones on eBay and the one the DMCH sells but really was hoping someone might recomend a particular brand.

If it is truly indoors all the time, it's hard to beat the Walmart Size 3. They are so cheap that you throw them away every 2-3 years when they get dirty.

Don't use that one outside, then you'll be replacing it ever couple of months.

Anyone know a good indoor/outdoor cover? How does the DMCH one hold up?

I agree. Pick up the size 3 hot chicks from Wal mart.

I bought mine in Gettysburg at the DCS, other then a rip one of my kids put into it my cover is still good to go.

I've had mine for about 4 years from these folks http://www.micarcovers.com/ Choose OTHER from their menu. The style for the D #167. I got the Sunforger Flannel It's lined with cotton flannel, with a canvas outer cover and comes preshrunk. It's machine washable. Fits the car perfect.

Thanks Everybody...

I'll check out the Wal-Mart option. Would rather put moeny into parts. The cover is just to keep the dust off.

Is the dmch one machine washable?

I have a "Noah" car cover on #5000, same one since 1998. Few stains, but no holes. They can be sourced from many places, but I think I originally got it from California Car Covers. It's only been outside with it on about 10 times, otherwise in the garage. It's your choice, go cheap or quality......I think I paid about $150 in 1998. Guess you could say I have my money's worth, and counting....

I'm looking at the DMC cover. My car is spending a lot of time outside while 2991 gets finished up. Even though I know it spent years in the Arizona desert, it pains me to see it out in the elements.

Still not a lot of feedback on here about the DMC cover. If anyone would like to chime in on how it holds up outside as well as the above question about machine washable-ness that would be greatly appreciated.

If it's good the price certainly can't be beat.

I have the walmart one. Think it's made by "buldge". It goes on my car every winter for the last 11 seasons and still works fine. Cheap and doesn't fit like a custom but does the trick.

Good to know. Walmart may be the answer (as it often is).

No chance wind blows it off? Does it have grommets for ties?

It comes with grommets, yes. But if I remember correctly you just have to install them yourself. Used the cover in high winds myself a few times with bungee cords pulling the grommets together and never had a problem.

Size #2 is what you want, and even lists the DeLorean on the box.
