2014 Chevy Corvette C7 Stingrays from our January Catalog Cover

A 2014 Chevy Corvette with one of our Superweave car covers on it.

Our first catalog of 2014 features a pair of the hot 2014 Chevy Corvette C7s. We have a lot of great accessories coming out for the new Corvette at California Car Cover, so we were fortunate that some local customers already took delivery on their Vettes. We spent a few hours on a recent morning with these Corvettes and here are a few extra photos from the catalog cover shoot.

 The 2014 Chevy Corvette is the ultimate American sports car. With 460hp under the hood and a 0-60 time of 3.8 seconds, the Corvette can really move. Add that the vehicle can get up to 29 mpg on the highway and this Corvette is equally equipped for the race track or a road trip.

I was hoping that the car owners would let us take the Corvettes around the block (just for the sake of the blog of course), but they politely declined. Oh well, maybe next time...

The 2014 Chevy Corvette looks good in white with black wheels.

The yellow Corvette features the Z51 package which includes larger wheels, larger brakes, aero package, ride control and much more.

A big thank you goes out to Rydell Chevrolet for making this photo shoot possible. Al Azmon, a sales manager at the dealership owns the white Chevy Corvette from the photo shoot. The yellow Corvette, is owned by local customer, Denny Lesser, who just happened to purchase his Corvette from Rydell Chevrolet.

1948 Ford Deluxe Woodie from our December Catalog Cover

The December California Car Cover catalog cover photo shoot brought us to the home of local customers, Bob and Sandi Valenzuela. The couple has a great collection of classic 1930s-40s Ford vehicles and we were thrilled that they would participate in this year's Santa's Workshop photo shoot.

Bob and Sandi's multi-car garage has expanded through the years to accommodate more vehicles and more collectibles. We are pretty fond of all those Plushweave California Car Covers, but check out their amazing collection of vintage signs and neon.

Vintage signs & grey car covers. How we think every garage should look.

The old Ford sedan that surrounds the tree has been there quite a while.

Bob has amassed quite a collection of 1932 Ford grilles. He proudly displays them in a variety of colors throughout the garage.

The featured vehicle on our December catalog cover is a 1948 Ford Deluxe Woodie. The Woodie features maroon paint. It has a small block engine under the hood and maroon leather interior to match the exterior paint.

Even more vintage steel signs along the fence.

Here is the catalog cover in case you haven't received your copy in the mail yet. If you would like to receive our monthly catalog in the mail, you can sign up on our website.

Thanks again to the Valenzuelas' for letting us photograph our December catalog cover at their home. We had a great time and definitely appreciated the hospitality.

Here is a video of the three great vehicles that were featured on our California Car Cover catalog covers this holiday season.




Check back next week for coverage from the Motor4Toys charity car show, plus the Mooneyes X-Mas Party and final Pomona Swap Meet of the year.

California Christmas with the 1957 Oldsmobile 98 Convertible

For our first holiday catalog of the year we went down to Orange County, Ca to meet with customer John Gilson. John owns a few very nice cars and we were thrilled at the opportunity to photograph his 1957 Oldsmobile 98 convertible.



We first spotted the Olds at this year's Grand National Roadster Show. The vehicle was built by our friends at D&P Classics in Huntington Beach, Ca. We have featured a few cars on our catalog covers built by D&P so you know the work that Darryl and the crew does there.

One-Off Custom Wheels

 The vehicle was a multi-year restoration project and you can see the detail work all around the vehicle. The Olds has custom leather interior from Stitchcraft, a padded dashboard and a full length center console.

Custom PPG Vibrance paint gives the red paint a glow in the sun.

 The Oldsmobile sits on a Morrison chassis. Stopping power is provided by Baer brakes. The crew at D&P Classics also added a Hartz power convertible top so John can put the easily put the top down for a drive down PCH.

 This Olds is no slouch. Under the hood is a 502 GM High Performance engine with a Hogan intake. The polished engine also includes custom built headers and exhaust, an aluminum radiator, and March Performance pulleys.

 Do you follow California Car Cover on Instagram? Here are a few cool photos from the photo shoot.
