    Car Covers and Outside Live Storage

    I just acquired another old car. After it sits for a few months, I intend to drive it occasionally in good weather. It will need to be stored outside in New England. There is no need to worry about theft (and I live in Boston). The original paint on the car is fair to poor, and I hate the color.


    What is the best way to do this? Should it be covered, and with what kind of cover? Any advice on doing something like this?


    Mandatory Corvette content - This car must be stored outside because my '62 with a newer lacquer paint job is in the 1 car garage.

    Chris,


    I've seen a few of those aluminum-framed inexpensive "temporary" garages used here in W Michigan with reasonable success. These may have a strong plastic (most often) or even aluminum sheeting as walls, and often have temporary doors as well. I guess it depends if you have the room for such a building, or if you intend to just leave it outside with a cover, or similar.


    I've seen car stored outside with just a cover, fabric or plastic, and the covers nicely peel the paint off the car in the spring...
