    I probably should have posted before I bought it....my car cover arrived
    today. California Car Cover brand- Stormweave fabric.

    Any experiences?

    I have another cheap cover. I stopped using it because
    it leaves black marks on the high spots when it's windy. I mainly wanted
    this to cover it at night during the Roundup.

    I have a Covercraft universal Evolution 3 cover that has held up for 20 years now. Hey Seth does it fit the car good?

    I was surprised to see on the box that it fit...
    ..'70-'73 Maverick/Comet and '69-'71 AMC Hornets!

    It is a little bulgy in the back, but fits tightly everywhere else.
    Now I just have to figure out the antenna fitting deal.

    We use to take the antenna off and mark the spot and then use a cigarette to melt a hole in the cover. (Had to find someone that smoked)
    It tore after a while though. I noticed that Cal Car Cover as a grommet setup.

    Yeah, just got off the phone with them. They didn't include the grommet
    in either cover. Ordered one for Dad's '68 Ranger F100 truck also.
