Does anyone here use an inflatable car capsule cover? We just bought one for my dad's copo and want to know how well it works. Does it hold up well? Post opinions please. Thanks.

LBISam got one for one of his Black Z's and he likes it. I know someone that has a 70 charger in one for over 10 years and loves it.

As far as I'm concerned, it's the only way to store a car in a working garage......I've got one ripped apart for updating and the capsules keep the finished ones protected and clean

Hey look...a Christmas tree! You put that in there so It'd look like Pavillions, huh? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

any particular brand preferred, want to get two for my father but they need to accomodate a 65 impala and a 63 impala.

I think Ken, and other's that use covers like that have the right idea..It's got to be a lot safer, and cleaner for your cars, I just have cloth covers over mine, and that doesn't keep out all the dust, and I'm always hitting the cars as I move stuff in and out of the garage.. How much do they cost, and what is a good brand? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif....Kasey.. There will be NO //// Palm// or Christmas...tree added.. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif

For non heated storage I would use the Car Jacket to store cars over the winter. One they keep moist air out because they are sealed (they also include desiccant to remove moisture). Also extreme temperature changes will cause a car to "sweat". The bag because it is sealed acts a buffer because the air in the bag stay the same temperature as the car reducing/ eliminating this effect. I have used them for years with excellent results.

Cant beat the bubble, keeps air moving all the time with a built in fan. Zero rust and im at the beach...Less than 400.00 bucks and worth every penny. Got em for the Harleys too..

[/ QUOTE ] I have had the bubbles for approx. 7 years it works great. I have had my viper and other cars in them. I bought mine from SAM GOLDFARB from GROVEPORT, OHIO OR CANAL WINCHESTER, OHIO he is the past president of the Viper Club. I bought my last one for 265.00 Phone #'s are 614-836-7934 and 614-836-6036. He is a dealer for the car capsules and a good guy. I also cover my cars with sheets once they are in the bubble, a light dust will settle on the car even with the air filter. But again I am very picky. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Is your storage facility heated?? If so I would suggest the bubble. If you have a storage facility which is humid and has large temperature changes over a short period of time I recommend the car jacket.

Try these guys. They carry a wide selection of car covers, including the car jackets and the car bubbles, and other numerous car related items. I have purchased numerous items from them with great results.
