    Lost the storage space for my 72 Estate Wagon and in need for a temporary car cover to survive fall and winter.

    I have had one for my 71 Electra (size 5) bought from Walmart and must say I was very pleased with the 'all weather' type (size and protection were good).

    The search engine at Walmart stated that they do have a size that fits 71-76 Electra (the one I have), but for the station wagon it is a 1977 and up Estate Wagon.

    Looking for recommendation on the size of the Walmart cover (they're cheap and do their job) for a clamshell wagon.
    I'm just not sure whether the Walmart size 5 for a station wagon will fit a clamshell

    Anybody here use one? Or other recommendations?

    (Wagon still has to be re-painted)

    Bought a 6 layer cover through eBay ('the cover factory'). Was a bit worried whether it would fit, but even with a bug guard and roof rack the Wagon now is 'sharp dressed'.
    Used material feels and looks like it will do the job where it's been bought for.

    Thanks a1awind (Ian) for taking care of shipping it to Europe (y)(y)(y)


    Still need to add elastic bands to secure the cover:
