I am looking for a good car cover for my Wives '86 Bird or if anybody has any suggestions on what brand would be the best, that would work to.
Thank you

I bought one that was a little on the cheap side a while back and regretted it the first time we had a snow storm with blowing wind. It only had on grommet on each side, so you had to fish the tie cord all the way under from one side to the other (a real pain), and then it blew off and bunched up by one of the rear tires. So much for keeping the car covered. There is a seller on ebay "thecoverfactory2" that has a really nice looking one with four grommets and a 1 year money back guarantee that sells for $89.41. I think I paid mid $50's for mine. My next one will be this type. Many don't say much about how the are secured to the car, so look for that and multiple layers with a soft underside to prevent scratching and breathability to prevent mold and mildew. Hope this helps.
