I can tell you to stay away from California Car Cover. Many years ago, they were THE place. The last two were total poopy. Neither fit well but seemed to be a one size fits all type thing. Mike "Kube" Kubarth

Hmmmm... Guess I will let everyone know in a about a week. Ordered a new one from California Car Cover for my wagon. Kube's may be correct as the order says Ranch Wagon instead of Station Wagon. Called about it and they said that is the name they use for station wagons 1949 - 1954. Of course, NOT IN STOCK, it will have to be made up.

The only difference between a Ranch Wagon and a Station Wagon is 2 doors so the covers should be the same. Not so sure about a 49-51 woodie vs a 52-54 Ranch Wagon/Country Squire wagon. Although when I look at my '54 Ranch Wagon with a cheap cover on it looks like it could have a woodie under it. Hope it works out for you. ______________ No signature

After using several different covers for different cars over the years, my opinion now is “less is more”. If using as a dust cover inside a garage, a heavy multi-ply cover serves no purpose. A light-weight 2-ply cover is easier to handle and store. When I’m struggling to get my heavy-weight cover in position on my long fifties station wagon, I worry it might be scuffing the finish, although I never actually saw evidence of that. And a light-weight cover is a lot cheaper to buy.

My 35 cabriolet has a blue cover that fits well, but no brand name and only the number 9713. My 36 cabriolet has a California Car Cover that is slightly too large.

Jim DeFrank has a post on Facebook with a listing for dozens of car brand covers left over from the 1970's. for 100 bucks each. These are the old blue ones and they are very nice indoor covers. I see he has one for a '40 convert. Worth looking into. Go to Facebook and type in car covers under marketplace. I have 10 of his covers and they are great. Good luck.
